How to read the trend
The high point in this published series was FY 2022, when the table lists 461 total Oregon charge receipts. The low point was FY 2018, with 180. The difference between years is descriptive data from the EEOC’s state table; it does not prove that workplace discrimination increased or decreased, and it does not measure case outcomes.
What these figures do and do not show
A charge receipt is an allegation filed with the EEOC. It is not a finding that an employer violated the law, a court judgment, a settlement, or an award. A charge may list more than one alleged basis, so readers should not add charge-basis counts together to reconstruct the total-charge count.
Use current guidance for individual questions
The series ends at FY 2022. Employment rules, procedures, and deadlines can change and depend on the facts and jurisdiction. This historical table cannot determine whether a particular charge is timely, whether the EEOC has jurisdiction, or what result may follow. For current individual questions, consult the EEOC, the appropriate state or local agency, or a qualified professional.

Important: A charge receipt is an allegation filed with the EEOC; it is not a finding of wrongdoing, a case result, a settlement, or an award. A person may allege more than one basis, so total charges are lower than the sum of listed bases.
