Summary

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission voted this week to rescind the requirement that large employers and government contractors submit annual demographic data, a reporting requirement that has been in place since the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. Labor Radio spoke with Valerie Wison from the Economic Policy Institute about the decision.
