FYI: Did you know?

Through the third quarter of fiscal year (FY) 2008, race, reprisal and sex were the most frequently alleged bases of discrimination in complaints filed by federal agency employees, former employees and applicants for employment, according to data posted on the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) website on July 30, 2008. The third quarter ended June 30, 2008.
The EEOC’s summary statistical data show that 24 internal complaints of discrimination were filed with the agency by 24 individuals during the third quarter of FY 2008. Among these complaints, race was the most frequently alleged basis of discrimination (18), followed by reprisal (13) and sex (11). Notably, complaints may allege multiple bases of discrimination, so the sum of the alleged bases is generally greater than the number of complaints filed. Through the third quarter, there were no findings of discrimination on internal complaints.
