I’m not sure what to make of the numbers from this short article:
Job-discrimination complaints filed by workers against private employers rose in 2006 for the first time in four years. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said Thursday that complaints increased to 75,768 during the 2006 budget year from 75,428 the previous year.
I suspect a part of the rise complaints is due to the increased hiring that has occurred over the past few years. A 340 complaint increase out of 75,000+ total does not seem greatly significant. But it is the first increase in 4 years.
