US civil rights agency halts demographic data collection

The Trump administration is moving to eliminate the longstanding requirement for private sector employers to submit annual workforce demographic reports to the EEOC, a move criticized for potentially hindering the agency's ability to monitor workplace discrimination. The proposal, approved by the EEOC’s Republican majority, argues that the data collection imposes unnecessary costs and may promote discrimination, though critics contend it is a vital tool for identifying disparities. The change would end the collection of EEO-1 data, which has historically provided insights into gender and racial representation across job categories since 1966. Despite some companies voluntarily releasing their data, federal and civil rights organizations warn that the removal of this requirement could reduce transparency and lessen efforts to address workplace discrimination.
