After a record-breaking year in fiscal 2011, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission during the past fiscal year has built on the gains it achieved, the agency recently reported.
The EEOC won $365.4 million for victims of workplace discrimination, breaking the previous record of $364.6 million set in fiscal 2011. The agency in fiscal 2012 also cut its backlog of cases for a second straight year, reducing pending charges from 78,136 at the end of fiscal 2011 to 70,312 at the close of the past fiscal year. Before fiscal 2011, the EEOC hadn’t decreased its backlog since 2002.
