EEOC General Counsel's FY 2004 Annual Report
The EEOC Office of General Counsel has released its fiscal year 2004 annual report. Of suits filed by the EEOC, 52.4% alleged sex discrimination, 37.9% retaliation, 15.3% race discrimination, 11.8% disability discrimination, 11.8% age discrimination, 9.7% national origin discrimination, 4.2% religious discrimination, and 1.3% equal pay discrimination. 75.6% of the sex discrimination cases filed were for sexual harassment.

First, I wonder how that compares to all Title VII litigation (since private parties sue much more often than the EEOC).
Second, those numbers mean that 39.6% of the cases the EEOC brings are sexual harassment cases, a higher percentage than I would have guessed.
