The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
The following chart represents the total number of charges filed and resolved alleging compensation discrimination issues (includes issues of wages, retirement benefits, insurance benefits, or other compensation).
The data are compiled by the Office of Research, Information, and Planning from EEOC's Charge Data System.

The total of individual percentages may not always sum to 100% due to rounding.
EEOC total workload includes charges carried over from previous fiscal years, new charge receipts and charges transferred to EEOC from Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs). Resolution of charges each year may therefore exceed receipts for that year because workload being resolved is drawn from a combination of pending, new receipts and FEPA transfer charges rather than from new charges only.
