Annual Discrimination Complaints to State Agencies
advertisement
Annual Discrimination Complaints to State Agencies Prohibiting Sexual Orientation and/or Gender Identity November 2008 As part of a larger study, the Williams Institute contacted twenty-one locales (twenty states and the District of Columbia) that currently protect employees from sexual orientation and/or gender identity discrimination, in order to obtain raw complaint rate data delineated by basis of discrimination and year. Of the twenty-one locales contacted, we obtained data for sixteen states and the District of Columbia. Data were collected between September 2007 and October 2008 for the years 1999-2007 and used primarily to calculate population-adjusted complaint rates based on sexual orientation, race, and sex for the report entitled, “Evidence of Employment Discrimination on the basis of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity: Complaints Filed with State Enforcement Agencies 1999-2007.” The data for California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin can be found below. It should be noted that data vary for each state based on a variety of factors including the year a protected class was added (and in some cases deleted) from a state’s non-discrimination law, changes in the annual data collection methodology of state agencies, and problems with data accessibility. Any questions, concerns, or data needs for a specific state should be directed to the appropriate state agency.
