The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is seeking approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a three-year extension of the State and Local Government Information Report (EEO-4) with proposed revisions. This report collects demographic data on the workforce from state and local governments with 100 or more employees. The EEOC plans to improve the data collection process by updating salary bands and enhancing submission methods to reduce the burden on respondents. The data helps investigate employment discrimination and is collected through a confidential online portal. The public can submit comments on the proposed changes until January 6, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) wants to update the way they collect information about people working for big state and local governments, so it's less work for everyone. They want to know what people think about the changes, and anyone can tell them what they think until January 6, 2025.
