The City of New York is legally mandated to submit the federal EEO-4 report every two years, which is mandated from all jurisdictions with 15 or more employees by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act as amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972. The report provides a summary of a jurisdiction's workforce composition by agency function, job category, salary, race/ethnicity, and gender - data that are relevant to the Federal government's furtherance of EEO practices, and which help jurisdictions to establish benchmarks and to evaluate internal programs.
