Nationwide and in Wisconsin, the number of racial discrimination complaints by Black workers was far higher than any other type of racial discrimination, with a rate of about 466 federal complaints per 100,000 Black workers in Wisconsin.
Professor Donald Tomaskovic-Devey and doctoral student Carly McCann analyzed never-before released data from the EEOC, finding 63% of workers lose their jobs through either termination, resignations, or some other form of being pushed out of the job where they said discrimination occurred. Complaint data is not routinely made public; the EEOC only publishes data related to lawsuits–and denied News 3 Investigates similar data.
“In some ways, this is kinda a fundamental problem around the discrimination claims generally,” Tomaskovic-Devey said. “There’s not much transparency.”
Tomaskovic-Devey and McCann’s analysis of hundreds of thousands of discrimination complaints to the EEOC in 2012 through 2016 finds Wisconsin ranking 6th in the country for the number of complaints filed for racial discrimination against Black people.
Researchers say the majority of discriminatory behavior doesn’t result in federal complaints.
