More than 2,800 charges of workplace discrimination were filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission last year by Arizona workers.
Although Arizona is home to about 2 percent of the country’s population, 3 percent of the employment discrimination charges in 2013 came from here.
Such charges can be filed by workers who believe they have been discriminated against based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, genetic information, retaliation, or the Equal Pay Act.
Nearly 45 percent of the charges coming out of Arizona allege retaliation.
