Jackson Lewis LLP - May 04, 2009
Since the start of the recession in December 2007, 5.1 million jobs have been lost, according to March 2009 figures from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Almost two-thirds (3.3 million) of losses occurred November 2008 through March 2009. Additionally, figures from the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) show that age-related discrimination allegations by employees are at a record high, vaulting 29% to 24,582 charges filed in the year ending September 30, 2008, up from 19,103 in 2007. While EEOC figures show overall employment discrimination complaints are also at a high (up 15% to 95,402 complaints), age-related complaints had the most remarkable increase.
