Compliance managers, hold onto your hats. The EEOC has published the 2007 discrimination claim numbers and the results aren’t encouraging. In fact, discrimination claims jumped by 9% in 2007, compared to 2006. That’s the greatest increase in more than a decade, according to the EEOC.

Although racial discrimination remained the largest category of complaints filed, claims of retaliation exceed sexual/gender discrimination for the first time. Retaliation complaints in 2007 jumped 18% over 2006.

Not only are discrimination claims rising again, the EEOC is recovering more money from employers. The agency collected $345 million in 2007, an increase of 26% over 2006.
