Affirmative action for gender and race may have been eliminated at the federal level, but the concept remains in effect for organizations that contract with certain states and other regional jurisdictions. Use our infographic to keep tabs on which states have affirmative action requirements, when those requirements may apply, and when states have other non-discrimination laws you will need to research!
Depending on where your organization does business, you may still have affirmative action responsibilities. As we cover in our blog post on this subject, there are many reasons to continue your workforce analytics efforts—and in addition to remaining VEVRAA and Section 503 AAPs, many U.S. states have affirmative action-related laws you still need to consider. This infographic provides a map of state laws sorted into the following categories:
- States and territories with affirmative action for contractors at specific thresholds
- States with affirmative action for contractors on specific contracts
- States with no affirmative action measures but other anti-discrimination clauses
- States with no measures other than federal requirements for private employers
