Federal and state laws govern employment discrimination and protect various groups. In 2011, over 99,000 discrimination charges were filed with the EEOC, primarily for race, sex, disability and age discrimination. The costs of settling class action discrimination lawsuits has increased dramatically, with the top 10 settlements in 2010 totaling over $346 million. Both the ADA Amendments Act and the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act were passed to broaden protections, with the latter prohibiting the use of genetic information in employment decisions. Individual states also have their own discrimination laws that may provide additional protected classes or differ in procedures and interpretations compared to federal law.
