The government is poised to scrap decades-old workplace diversity reporting, sparking fierce debate. The EEO-1 report, which has helped expose discrimination and track progress for women and minorities, is under threat as the EEOC claims it’s a burden and may even encourage reverse discrimination. Critics—including civil rights groups, researchers, and employers—argue the data is indispensable for uncovering bias, studying trends like the “bamboo ceiling,” and preventing exclusion. While some say the data is outdated and prone to stereotyping, others point out that companies use it internally to root out unfair hiring practices—and claim no evidence of misuse exists despite 60 years of collection. The move could leave society flying blind when it comes to equity in the workforce.
