EmployStats Advises the EEOC on Collection of Survey Data

EmployStats was brought on to provide our feedback on the best uses of this EEOC-2 data. In these panel meetings, we testified about our industry level experience in using available pay data to analyze claims of disparate pay and employment discrimination. We described to the EEOC how companies like EmployStats, research institutions, and public users utilize federally maintained datasets in practice, comparing the survey data the EEOC collected to other federal databases like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

We explained the benefits of current benchmark pay data from different public and private sources, and what additional value the EEO-2 survey data could bring. We also provided EEOC recommendations on best practices for the formatting and publication of the EEOC’s data, so this survey data can be of maximum utility to researchers and the general public. 

A few years ago the EEOC had created an additional component to their Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) survey sent out to employers in the United States, known as Component 2 (EEOC-2 / EEO-2). This addition to their survey asked employers about the compensation of employees and their hours worked, organized by job category, gender, race, ethnicity, and certain pay bands. After collecting this data, the EEOC was interested in analyzing this data and determining how it could be best utilized by both the commission, and the public at large. Partnering with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the EEOC formed a panel to closely examine this compensation data, and collect input on its utilization. EmployStats was able to collaborate with several well known professionals including William Rogers, Elizabeth Hirsh, Jenifer Park, and Claudia Goldin
