Data reveals Georgia outranks much of the nation in workplace discrimination claims

After researching data from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a California law firm made a troubling discovery about Georgia.

Georgia ranked as the third state in the nation with the highest rate of workplace discrimination, behind Tennessee and Arkansas.

The 2021 data revealed retaliation was the most common type of discrimination with a total of 2,091 cases. Racial discrimination is the second most common with 1,290 cases filed, followed by sexual discrimination with 1,084 cases.
