EEOC launched EEOC Explore, an interactive data query and mapping tool that aggregates publicly available EEO-1 data associated with 56 million employees and 73,000 employers nationwide. Users can search data for 2017 and 2018 by sex, race/ethnicity, location and industry sector and dive down to county-level details.

According to Dr. Chris Haffer, EEOC’s Chief Data Officer, “the new mapping tool makes tracking employment trends as simple as a few clicks, particularly for those analyzing job patterns for minorities and women in private industry.”

EEOC Explore was developed in collaboration with NORC at the University of Chicago as part of the EEOC’s Data and Analytics Modernization Program led by the EEOC’s Office of Enterprise Data and Analytics (OEDA).
