US civil rights agency moves to end demographic data collection after 60 years
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) plans to end a 60-year-old requirement for companies to submit workforce demographic data, citing concerns about potential discrimination. The Republican-majority EEOC voted 2-1 to rescind the rule, which has been used to track employment patterns and enforce anti-discrimination laws since 1966.
