The U.S. agency responsible for enforcing anti-discrimination laws is moving to end employer reporting of workers’ race and sex data, according to reporting from multiple outlets. Under current requirements, employers submit annual data on the race and sex of their employees to the federal government. One outlet says the practice has been in place since 1966, when annual reporting began. The proposal would change how employers collect and provide this demographic information, potentially reducing the amount of workforce race-and-sex data available to the agency and policymakers. The reporting also indicates the agency’s effort is aimed at adjusting or eliminating parts of the longstanding reporting framework. The developments are presented as a policy shift rather than an immediate change, with the proposal subject to further review and process before any final implementation. The exact scope and timeline of the change, including how employers would be affected if the proposal is adopted, is described as part of the agency’s move to revise reporting obligations.
