The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is planning to ask the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to extend the State and Local Government Information (EEO-4) data collection for three more years without any changes. This information collection, required every two years from state and local governments with 100 or more employees, helps the EEOC investigate discrimination claims and is crucial for the EEOC's research. Comments on this proposal are accepted until March 22, 2021. The process of reporting has been made easier through electronic filing, which is the preferred method for submission.
Simple Explanation
The EEOC wants to keep asking big state and local governments some questions every two years to help with their work on stopping job unfairness, but some people are worried it's like a long homework without clear details on why it's helpful or how much it costs.
