In 2013, the Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) partnered with the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) and funded Mathematica Policy Research to create Using Administrative Data to Address Federal Contractor Violations of Equal Employment Opportunity Laws under the Administrative Data Research and Analysis portfolio of studies. The formative evaluation aims to review and analyze the characteristics of federal contractor equal employment opportunity (EEO) violators/re-violators and remedy processes between fiscal years (FY) 2003 and 2012 to identify additional areas of analysis that may be pursued by OFCCP. Additionally, the formative evaluation seeks to understand how OFCCP administrative data can be used to better understand violation and re-violations of EEO laws among federal contractors.
This Department of Labor-funded study contributes to the labor evidence-base to inform employer compliance – wages and earnings programs and policies and addresses Departmental strategic goals and priorities.
