Spike in religious, national-origin job bias claims

For the second year in a row, the EEOC received a record number of employee job discrimination claims (99,947 in 2011). New EEOC figures released Jan. 24 show that religious and national-origin bias claims saw the biggest increases last year, up 10% and 5%, respectively.

“We’re seeing more workers from India, Pakistan and other countries that bring additional religious complexity to the workforce,” a former EEOC attorney told the Associated Press.

As in past years, claims based on retaliation, race, sex and disability were filed most often (see box below).
