The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency that enforces the principal federal laws prohibiting workplace discrimination, reported $660 million in total monetary relief for 17,680 workers, the third-highest annual recovery in recent years. The $660 million top line figure is based on $528 million recovered from roughly 13,350 pre-litigation settlements, $104.6 million from over 1,800 federal employee settlements, and $27 million from over 2,500 cases resolved in litigation.
