In order to fulfill the City's EEO obligations under the City's EEO Policy, the City Charter, federal law and regulations, and other laws, the City of New York asks you to voluntarily identify your gender, race/ethnicity, date of birth, and whether you are a veteran. The City uses the race/ethnic and veteran categories specified in federal regulations. This information is confidential, and is used to generate statistical reports submitted to civil rights enforcement agencies. When reported, data will not identify any specific individual. The City of New York also uses this information to ensure that employment policies, practices, and programs foster equal employment opportunity.
Please be assured that providing or not providing self-identification information will not result in any unfavorable treatment. If you choose not to self-identify, an interviewer may assess your race/ethnicity through visual observation. Data gathered through visual observation is generally not as reliable as self-identification data.
