"The restaurant industry has the highest rates of sexual harassment of any industry." Even taken at face value, this stub undermines ROC's claim: The author reportedly identified 26 suits or settlements that involved sexual harassment in the restaurant industry, in an 11-month period in 2011. I also filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the EEOC for all sexual harassment charges filed by restaurant industry employees during the year in question. The results couldn't be more different from ROC's preferred number: In 2011, just six percent of sexual harassment charges were coded as being filed by employees in the restaurant industry. Agency staff later followed up and indicated it's difficult to draw any conclusions about the number of sexual harassment charges stemming from restaurants due to data limitations.
