According to reports, many employers are apprehensive of releasing the EEO-1 form which only goes on to collect US demographic data but not pay. It was said that these companies felt that such a thing would bring them under the spotlight in a negative way or that their data will be misinterpreted.

However, when Barack Obama was the President, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) asked all companies with a workforce of 100 or more employees to submit data giving details about US employees by race and gender on the basis of 10 job categories. Experts were of the opinion that the collection of data was done to reveal potential disparities in pay structure but corporate leaders said that this data did not show employee positions and it was costly in terms of procurement of data.
