Vargyas Date: December 11, 1998 DOCUMENTS NUMBER OF PAGES* EEOC Outreach Information 8 COMMENTS: Per our discussion, I've attached information on our recent outreach activities. To summarize the information I gave you over the phone, last year's field outreach budget was about $190,000; this year we expect it to be in the $300,000 range. Also, looking at the racial breakdown of the pregnancy discrimination claims that have been filed with us over the past five years, about 20% have been filed by Blacks, 68% by whites, 1.4% by Asians, .5% by American Indians, and about 8.5% by Hispanics. All of these numbers are approximate; we do not have racial information on about 17% of these charges. I look forward to continuing these extremely interesting, important and challenging discussions. * NOT COUNTING COVER SHEET.
