Show Notes

A study of data from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found that Georgia ranks third highest in the nation for workplace discrimination. Retaliation, racial discrimination and sexual discrimination are the three most common types of discrimination cases faced in the state. Brad Dozier, the managing principal of the Dozier Law Group in Atlanta, explains how employment discrimination is defined, why it’s so common in Georgia and what employees can do to protect themselves.

 

Plus, according to the 2023 Official LDC U.S. Latino GDP Report, Georgia has witnessed a surprising surge in its Latino economy, growing at an annual rate of just over 7% between 2011 and 2021. Ana Valdez, the president and CEO of the Latino Donor Collaborative, discusses Latinos’ contribution to the U.S. economy and what their financial power could mean for the 2024 presidential election.
