Fairfax County’s low unemployment has translated to fewer discrimination cases related to firings and layoffs, according to a report released by the county’s Human Rights Commission.
Employment-related cases account for the vast majority of caseloads for the commission, which hears complaints of discrimination and provides an outlet for citizen recourse. The commission, which publicly delivered statistics for fiscal 2005 on Monday, received 379 employment cases that year, 129 fewer than the previous year.
