Long time readers of this blog know how geeky I can be when it comes to the annual report statistics released by the CHRO. Back in 2022, for example, I noted the continued decline in cases filed with the state agency that is responsible for investigating discrimination claims. (I also called myself a “stat nerd”
Whether you call this season “fall” or “pumpkin spice latte time”, I like to call it — “It’s CHRO Annual Report Season!”
Yes, I admit I’m a stat nerd when it comes to the CHRO Annual Report. If you’re new to this blog, the CHRO Annual Report provides all the statistics from the last fiscal
Fifteen years ago today, I posted my first Welcome message to this blog.

I had one modest goal:
I hope you will stick around for the first (and as far as I know, only) Connecticut blog that will focus on new and noteworthy developments in the employment law arena, particularly as they may impact
With the end of the year finally here, I know I could do yet another post on the OSHA vax-or-test standard given that the Supreme Court on Wednesday announced expedited oral arguments on the legality of that rule and the vaccine mandate for healthcare workers.

And discrimination complaints to the EEOC were about at their all-time high.
But over the last few years — and in particular, last year — discrimination and retaliation claims have been down.

In preparation for a webinar I gave this week with my colleague Chris Engler (which, by the way, you can access here) I took a deeper dive into the statistics from the annual report released by the CHRO, in a followup to my initial report here.
When you look at the numbers in
Earlier this month, the EEOC released its statistics regarding charges for 2018. I love looking at these because there are certain trends that always pop out. (You can see some prior years here and here.)
Here are five big takeaways that employers in Connecticut can learn from these numbers.
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
Back in the 1990s, employers still had the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings and the tawdry sexual harassment allegations relatively fresh on their minds. Employment lawyers will tell you that they started to see a bump up in claims in the early to mid 1990s as the issues of workplace harassment raised to the surface.
