EQUAL PAY DATA.

Amendment offered by Congressman Bobby Scott (VA) to allow the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to employ its updated questionnaire of businesses of more than 100 people. In addition to data which has been collected for nearly 50 years, requested additional information, which would be kept confidential, about how much each business paid their employees by gender, race, and ethnicity. This data would help companies find and remedy wage discrimination within their midst, and would also better equip the EEOC to combat pay discrimination. The Scott (VA) amendment was defeated.
