THIS SECOND EDITION OF A SEMIANNUAL REPORT ON EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY STATISTICS PROVIDES DATA ON FULL-TIME, WHITE-COLLAR EMPLOYMENT FOR DESIGNATED MINORITIES IN THE FEDERAL CIVILIAN WORKFORCE.

Abstract

THE MINORITY GROUPS COMPRISING BLACKS, SPANISH-SURNAMED PERSONS, AMERICAN INDIANS, ORIENTALS, ALEUTS AND ESKIMOS IN ALASKA, AND WOMEN AS A COMPONENT WITHIN EACH MINORITY ARE THE FOCUS OF THESE STATISTICS FOR OCCUPATIONS IN PROFESSIONAL, ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, CLERICAL, AND OTHER CATEGORIES. STATISTICS ARE ALSO INCLUDED FOR MINORITY GROUPS AND WOMEN IN FULL-TIME BLUE-COLLAR EMPLOYMENT WITHIN 33 MAJOR OCCUPATIONAL JOB FAMILY GROUPS UNDER THE FEDERAL WAGE SYSTEM. DATA ARE PRESENTED BY SELECTED PAY SYSTEMS, GRADE OR SALARY LEVELS, AND AVERAGE GRADE OR SALARY AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 1977. STATISTICAL TABLES ARE FURNISHED ALSO IN THREE APPENDIXES ON EMPLOYMENT DATA BY AGENCY (INCLUDING AN ALL-AGENCIES SUMMARY), BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA (REGIONS, STATES, STANDARD METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS, TERRITORIES, AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES), AND BY WORLDWIDE FULL-TIME FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT WITHIN WHITE-COLLAR OCCUPATION BREAKDOWNS AND BLUE-COLLAR OCCUPATIONAL FAMILY GROUP. DEFINITIONS OF TERMS AND EXPLANATIONS OF THE DATA SOURCES AND OCCUPATIONAL CATEGORIES ARE INCLUDED AS WELL AS A SUMMARY OF GENERAL FINDINGS. THIS SUMMARY INDICATES THAT MINORITIES (BLACK, SPANISH-SURNAMED, AMERICAN INDIAN, AND ORIENTAL AMERICAN) HELD 6,309 MORE FEDERAL JOBS AS OF THIS REPORTING PERIOD THAN FOR THE PREVIOUS-REPORTING PERIOD IN NOVEMBER 1976. THE NET GAINS WERE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE MIDDLE GRADE GROUPINGS OF THE PAY SCALE AND THE PROPORTION OF MINORITIES HOLDING SUPERGRADE JOBS (GRADES 16-18) INCREASED BY ONE-TENTH OF 1 PERCENT. BLACKS CONTINUED TO MAKE MAJOR GAINS (UP 5,268 FROM 180,372); SPANISH-SURNAMED EMPLOYEES INCREASED THEIR OVERALL NUMBERS IN THE WORK FORCE BY 1,836; AMERICAN INDIANS GAINED 1,833 ADDITIONAL GOVERNMENT JOBS; ORIENTAL AMERICANS DECREASED IN NUMBERS THROUGHOUT ALL MAJOR PAY SYSTEMS BY 475 JOBS; AND WOMEN'S NUMBERS INCREASED BY 13,150.
