New Hampshire Statistics for Affirmative Action and EEO Assessment

These data are designed to aid in preparation of affirmative action plans, and assessment of equal employment opportunity (EEO) compliance.

Registered Job Seekers statistical tables include data on active job applicants by occupation, gender, age, and minority status, for statewide New Hampshire and counties.

Population Statistics tables include data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) on population, labor force, and employment status by gender and minority status, statistics on disability and veteran status, and language spoken at home.

Note: Pay Equity data (occupational wages by gender), prepared to comply with NH RSA 275:41-c, provide information about compensation differentials to assist the public in understanding any differentials. These data are available at https://www.nhes.nh.gov/elmi/statistics/pay-equity.htm
