The EEOC publishes Enforcement and Litigation Data on its website. Currently, you can view data from FY2009 to FY2018. In looking at the charge statistics by issue, there were a total of 5,900 charges filed in FY 2018 that were classified under “Hiring.” The number of hiring claims filed under each statute are as follows:
- Title VI - 2,665
- ADEA - 1,884
