Like many federal agencies, EEOC's main office is located in Washington, D.C. We have 53 field offices around the country that can help you solve job discrimination and harassment problems. We also work closely with state and local government agencies that protect you against job discrimination.

If you want to file a job discrimination complaint, you should contact the EEOC office that is closest to you. To find the closest EEOC office, go to the Field Office List and Jurisdiction Map.

For more information about the state and local government agencies that we work with, see our Fair Employment Practices Agencies page.
