Bloomberg Law Quotes Annette Tyman on EEOC Plan to Rescind EEO‑1 Data Collection

Bloomberg Law quoted Annette Tyman, chair of Seyfarth’s People Analytics practice group, in its article, “EEOC Plan to Cut Race, Sex Reports Carries Downsides for Agency.” The piece, published on May 19, 2026, examines the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s plan to stop collecting employer race and gender data and the potential implications for enforcement and outreach. 

Tyman emphasized that, while the reports are limited, their elimination could have broader consequences beyond enforcement, noting:

“Since the information reports provided is so high level and done in an aggregate form, its elimination won't have direct impact on EEOC enforcement. The bigger impact will be on EEOC outreach, by eliminating a form of data some employers used as a benchmark to see how they stack up relative to their industry.”
