In my prior post, I wondered aloud whether there were some rough waters ahead for employers. Apple recently announced that it would not meet it’s earnings estimates in the first quarter of 2019, in part because of soft demand from China. Other companies are expected to announce some similar issues.
Honestly, I’ve had enough conversations
As part of my continuing series of posts about the CHRO, and following up from the 75th Anniversary panel discussion earlier this week, I wanted to provide an early look of the statistics that are soon to be released by the agency.
I was provided a preliminary draft in preparation for the panel presentation; it
Earlier this week, I made my long-awaited (ok, long-awaited by ME) return on WNPR’s ever-popular “Where We Live” show.
As always, I’m thankful for the invite.
My appearances date back quite some time (remember pizza and child labor in 2010?), so it was nice to be back in the studio to talk about age discrimination
So a few weeks back, I suggested that we were entering into a new era of sexual harassment cases and wondered out loud when the statistics would back up my observations.
We now have our first signs. Maybe.

This week, the Yankee Institute for Public Policy, a self-described “free market” think tank, issued an article suggesting that Connecticut had nearly the same number of discrimination complaints as our neighboring state, Massachusetts.
(This isn’t the first time it’s been critical of the CHRO.)
In doing so, the Yankee Institute claimed that these statistics
As I did last year, after I posted on the general statistics of the CHRO to see if we could glean any trends, I took a deeper dive into what the statistics this year show. And there were definitely a few surprises.
Obviously, at the risk of repeating yesterday’s post, FY 2015-2016 was
At this week’s CHRO information session, I was able to review the new statistics released by the CHRO this fall regarding case filings and dismissals.
They’ve now been posted live on the CHRO’s website here.
It’s something I’ve covered each year and I’m always fascinated by what these statistics show — and don’t show.
The last few weeks it seems that I’ve been reading about sexual harassment in the workplace issues a lot more. Here are a few examples:
The death of unions has been predicted time and again.
Each time a new round of statistics come out, we (me included) try to make some sense
