Gov. Kathy Hochul on Tuesday announced that the New York State Division of Human Rights awarded nearly $7 million in compensation in Fiscal Year 2023 for more than 1,000 victims of discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodation.
This sum represents the highest total compensation in the past six years, a 7.4 percent increase from Fiscal Year 2022, and a 26.8 percent increase from pre-pandemic Fiscal Year 2019.
