the eeoc requires all employers with over 100 employees to ask, the applicant doesn't have to answer

edit cause i can't be bothered to scroll down:

Employers who have at least 100 employees and federal contractors who have at least 50 employees are required to complete and submit an EEO-1 Report (a government form that requests information about employees' job categories, ethnicity, race, and gender) to EEOC and the U.S. Department of Labor every year.

Legal Requirements

Resources: Small Business Requirements

www.eeoc.gov

The EEOC collects workforce data from employers with more than 100 employees (lower thresholds apply to federal contractors). Employers meeting the reporting thresholds have a legal obligation to provide the data; it is not voluntary. Each of the reports collects data about gender and race/ethnicity by some type of job grouping.

Its on every job by federal mandate.


The race paper is on that long list of "sign here" pages after the job application. Its surrounded by "are you disabled?" And "are you a veteran?" Pages

straight from the eeoc website lol

"Therefore, employers should not request information that discloses or tends to disclose an applicant's race unless it has a legitimate business need for such information. If an employer legitimately needs information about its employees' or applicants' race for affirmative action purposes and/or to track applicant flow, it may obtain the necessary information and simultaneously guard against discriminatory selection by using a mechanism, such as "tear-off" sheets. This allows the employer to separate the race-related information from the information used to determine if a person is qualified for the job. Asking for race-related information on the telephone could probably never be justified.

but yeah, i stand on what i said my eyes have seen. if yall are used to career fields/employers that are tracking race that sounds like a yall problem

How is this even possible lol? They have options where you can select your race, gender and sometimes sexual orientation on pretty much every job application I’ve sent in.

When it's there I check Black.

If it helps, great. If they diss me because of that, I feel I am better off without the job than trying to fit in that workplace.

I never understood why someone would want a job they fear the HR and hiring folks would shelve because of their race.
