U.S Postal Service: Data on Career Employee Diversity (15-SEP-03,
GAO-03-745R).
Over the years, Committees and members of Congress have requested
information about employee equal opportunity and diversity issues
at the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). This report follows up on our
past reports concerning diversity issues at the USPS and responds
to the request of the Ranking Minority Members of the House
Committee on Government Reform and its Subcommittee on Civil
Service and Agency Organization for more current information on
the representation of minorities and women at the USPS. Our
objective was to provide data on the makeup (numbers and
percentages) for each equal employment opportunity (EEO)
group--white, black, Hispanic, Asian-American and Pacific
Islander (AAPI), American Indian and Alaskan Native (AIAN), and
Native Hawaiian (Hawaiian)--and gender group of USPS career
employees for USPS fiscal years 2000 through 2002. Information
contained in this report was obtained from USPS databases, which
we deemed sufficiently reliable for the informational purpose of
this engagement.

2Generally, USPS has defined career employees as persons who have
permanent work appointments and include such employees as clerks,
postmasters, mail handlers, and city and rural letter carriers. Noncareer
employees are those persons who have limited term work appointments and
include such employees as some data conversion operators who work at
postal remote encoding centers and substitutes for rural carriers.
GAO-03-745R Data on Career Employee Diversity in the Postal Service
Results in Brief
According to the USPS data, the USPS career employee workforce has
declined over the course of the last three fiscal years from 786,446 in
fiscal year 2000 to 751,650 in fiscal year 2002. Although the number of
minorities and women also declined over this 3-year period, their
representation in the workforce remained fairly constant, about 36 and 38
percent, respectively. Table 1 provides a breakdown of the workforce by
race/ethnicity and gender for each of the three years. Relative to the
Current Population Survey (CPS),3 black and AAPI men and women in the USPS
were fully represented, while Hispanic and AIAN men and women and white
women were underrepresented in the USPS workforce. Overall, the
representation of minorities in the USPS workforce exceeded their
representation in the U.S. workforce each year, while the representation
of women was less than their representation in the U.S. workforce each
year.

The percentage representation of minorities and women at higher-grade
levels was generally less for each of the three years than their
representation in the USPS workforce. The percentage representation of
white males at higher-grade levels was generally greater than their
representation in the USPS workforce for each of the three years. For
example, at the Executive and Administrative Schedule (EAS) levels 19-26,
the average representation of white males for the three fiscal years was
55.5

characteristics of the U.S. population for persons aged 16 years or older
who are employed or seeking employment. (See background section of this

percent, compared with their overall average representation in the
workforce of 41 percent.
The number of USPS workforce promotions steadily declined over the three
fiscal years decreasing from 7,114 in fiscal year 2000 to 5,320 in fiscal
year 2002-a decrease of about 26 percent. On the other hand, the
proportion of USPS workforce promotions received by minorities and women
remained relatively constant over the three fiscal years. For example,
blacks accounted for 17.6 percent of promotions in fiscal year 2000, 18.7
percent in fiscal year 2001, and 17.8 percent in fiscal year 2002. Their
average representation in the workforce for the three years was 21
percent, greater than their rates of promotion in each of those years. For
the three fiscal years, minorities received an average of about 30 percent
of the promotions while representing, on average, about 36 percent of the
workforce for the same period; whereas, the average representation of
women promoted exceeded their average representation in the USPS workforce
by almost 10 percent at about 46 percent for the same period.
Promotions by grade levels varied among EEO groups. As two examples show:
first, white men showed increases in their share of promotions as grade
levels increased. In grade levels 11-14, they received an average of about
20 percent of promotions for the three years. At higher-grade levels,
15-18 and 19-26, their shares of promotions increased to averages of 39.5
percent and 49 percent, respectively, for the three years. Second, black
women's share of promotions fluctuated from grade level to grade level.
Black women in grade levels 11-14 received an average of 8.2 percent of
promotions for the three years. At higher-grade levels, 15-18 and 19-26,
their average shares of promotions were 11.4 percent and 9 percent,
respectively, for the three years.
Regarding the three stages of the promotion process-applications
submitted, considered best qualified, and promoted-the average
representation of minorities and women as they passed through these stages
showed no differences for each of the three years. For all grade levels
combined, minorities and women on average constituted about 61 percent of
all applications submitted for promotion, about 61 percent were considered
best qualified, and about 61 percent were promoted. At higher-grade
levels, 15-18 and 19-26, white males represented the largest EEO group at
all three promotion process stages for each of the three years. For
example, in fiscal year 2002, for grade levels 19-26, white males
constituted about 50 percent at each stage.
According to the USPS data, the number of career employees retiring
increased in fiscal year 2002 to 18,288 after experiencing a slight
decrease from fiscal years 2000 to 2001, going from 15,692 to 15,504,
respectively. The representation of minorities and women retiring remained
constant-averaging about 27 and 28 percent of retirees, respectively, for
fiscal years 2000 through 2002. The representation of minorities and women
retiring each year was generally less than each group's average overall
representation in the USPS workforce.
The number of monetary performance awards fluctuated over the three fiscal
years with 61,129 given in fiscal year 2000, 54,604 in fiscal year 2001,
and 59,830 in fiscal
Page 3
GAO-03-745R Data on Career Employee Diversity in the Postal Service
year 2002. Overall, the 3-year average representation of such awards
received by minorities and women-38 and 40 percent, respectively-exceeded
their average representation in the USPS workforce of 36 and 38 percent,
respectively. Blacks received about one-half of the total number of awards
received by minorities for each of the three fiscal years-averaging 19
percent of all awards. This is less than their average representation in
the USPS workforce. Awards for other minority groups either equaled or
exceeded their average representation in the USPS workforce. Among women,
white women had the most representation, receiving about 23 percent of all
such awards in each of the three fiscal years. This is proportional to
their average representation in the USPS workforce for those years.
Background
According to USPS workforce profile statistics, the USPS had 751,650
career employees at the end of fiscal year 2002. This number represents
all EEO groups for men and women. It also includes all employees beginning
with Level 00 and going up through the Postal Career Executive Service
(PCES). Level 00 through Level 14 primarily includes letter carriers and
clerks that are considered craft employees and laborers, both skilled and
unskilled. In addition, this group also includes some entry-level EAS
managers. Positions at Level 15 and higher are mid- and high-level EAS
managers, which are postmasters, managers of customer services, and
managers of postal operations. PCES includes senior-level officers and
executives in positions such as area vice presidents. (See enc. I for a
more detailed explanation of employee grade levels.)
According to USPS, one of its corporate goals is a commitment to
employees, which includes an effort to provide equal employment
opportunities to all employees, take advantage of its diverse workforce,
and provide universal postal services to the American people. The USPS
defines diversity as a mixture of differences and similarities of its
employees, customers, and suppliers.
USPS measures its diversity by comparing the percentage an EEO group is
represented in its workforce to the percentage the group is represented in
the U.S. labor force. For two of the three years that we reviewed, USPS
used civilian labor force (CLF) data, which is collected by the Bureau of
the Census for its most recent census, for this comparison. For the third
year, fiscal year 2002, USPS used CLF data reported in the FY 2000 Federal
Equal Opportunity Recruitment Program Annual Report (FEORP) to the
Congress, prepared by the Office of Personnel Management. The CLF data in
the FEORP are derived from the Bureau of Labor Statistics September 2000
Current Population Survey (CPS) and the 1990 Decennial Census. Because CLF
data from the year 2000 census will not be available until the fall of
2003, we used the latest available CPS data (March 2001) for comparison.
CPS is based on a monthly survey of about 50,000 households conducted by
the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The survey
has been conducted for more than 50 years. The CPS is a primary source of
information on the characteristics of the civilian labor force in the U.S.
The survey uses a scientific sampling design to generate a representative
sample of the civilian noninstitutional population and to provide a
variety of demographic characteristics including gender, race, and
occupation.
Page 4
GAO-03-745R Data on Career Employee Diversity in the Postal Service
We do not believe that it is appropriate to compare the representation of
women and minorities or EEO group representation in EAS levels 11 through
26, which are generally management-level positions, in the USPS with the
CPS because CPS data are not broken down into an appropriate pool of
employees for such comparisons.
USPS career employees generally participate in one of the three federal
retirement programs available to most federal civilian employees. These
programs are: (1) the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), (2) the
Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), and (3) the CSRS Offset Plan.4
USPS has several performance awards and recognition programs for its
employees. Some of these awards and recognition programs are monetary and
others are non-monetary. The monetary awards can range in value from $50
to $7,500 and include spot awards, Vice President's awards, team awards,
exceptional performance awards, special achievement awards, quality step
increases, meritorious service awards, and distinguished service awards.
The nonmonetary awards include informal awards, team awards, and some spot
awards, such as gifts and letters of appreciation.
Total Workforce and Representation of Minorities and Women
According to USPS data, over the course of the last three fiscal years,
the number of career employees at USPS decreased from 786,446 in fiscal
year 2000, to 774,601 in fiscal year 2001, and to 751,650 in fiscal year
2002. White males represented the largest EEO group in the USPS
workforce-averaging about 41 percent for the 3-year period. The number of
minorities and women career employees in the USPS workforce also decreased
over this 3-year time period. On average, minorities represented about 36
percent of the total workforce for the three fiscal years and women
represented about 38 percent. When compared with CPS data, black and AAPI
men and women in the USPS were fully represented, while Hispanic and AIAN
men and women and white women were underrepresented in the USPS workforce
for each of the three years. Overall, the representation of minorities in
the USPS workforce exceeded their representation in the U.S. workforce
each year. As shown in figure 1, on average for the three fiscal years,
blacks represented about 21 percent; Hispanics about 7 percent; and AAPI
about 7 percent. The remaining groups-AIAN and Hawaiians-on average
represented .6 and .04 percent, respectively.

Information on Retirement Plans, GAO-02-170 (Washington, D.C.: Dec. 31,
2001). Federal employees hired after December 31, 1983, are not eligible
to participate in CSRS, but they participate in either FERS or the CSRS
Offset Plan.

Figure 1: USPS Career Employee Workforce Representation by Race/Ethnicity
as a Percentage of Total Workforce for Fiscal Years 2000 through 2002
As previously stated, women represented, on average, 38 percent of the
total USPS workforce for the three fiscal years. For these years, white
women represented an average of about 22 percent of the workforce; black
women an average of about 10 percent; Hispanic women an average of about 2
percent; AAPI women an average of about 2 percent; AIAN women an average
of about .26 percent; and Hawaiian women an average of .02 percent.
Overall, the representation of women was less than their representation in
the U.S. workforce each year. Figure 2 shows a breakout of the
representation of women employees by race/ethnicity.

Figure 2: USPS Career Employee Workforce Representation of Women by
Race/Ethnicity as a Percentage of Total Workforce for Fiscal Years 2000
through 2002
The majority of USPS employees, including minorities and women, were in
grade levels 00-10 (craft employees and laborers, both skilled and
unskilled) in fiscal years 2000 through 2002. At higher-level management
positions, EAS grade levels 19-26, the average representation of
minorities and women was generally lower than their average representation
in the USPS workforce. USPS data showed that minorities' average
representation at EAS levels 19-26 was about 27 percent-less than their
average representation in the USPS workforce of 36 percent. Representation
in these EAS levels compared with their representation in the USPS
workforce was lower for each individual EEO group, with the exception of
AIAN where they slightly exceeded their average representation in the USPS
workforce of .6 percent. Additionally, women represented on average 28.6
percent in EAS levels 19-26 for the three years, but represented, on
average, 38 percent of the USPS workforce. White males average
representation in EAS levels 19-26 was 55.6 percent compared with their
overall average representation in the USPS workforce of about 41 percent
over the 3-year period. (See enc. II for additional data.)

Promotions: Total and Representation of Minorities and Women
According to USPS applicant flow tracking reports5 for fiscal years 2000
through 2002, total employee promotions decreased by 26 percent over this
time period. There were 7,114 promotions in fiscal year 2000; 6,821 in
fiscal year 2001; and 5,320 in fiscal year 2002. White males received the
largest share of promotions for the three fiscal years-averaging about 39
percent. For the three fiscal years, minority employees' average share of
promotions-about 30 percent-was less than their average representation in
the USPS workforce-about 36 percent. Relative to individual EEO groups,
promotions were as follows:
o Blacks accounted for 17.6 percent of all promotions in fiscal year
2000, 18.7 percent in fiscal year 2001, and 17.8 percent in fiscal year
2002. These percentages are less than their average representation in the
USPS workforce-about 21 percent for the 3-year period.
o Hispanics and AAPI ethnic groups experienced slight increases in
promotions in each of the three fiscal years. Hispanics received 6.4
percent of all promotions in fiscal year 2000, about 7 percent in fiscal
year 2001, and 7.5 percent in fiscal year 2002. Compared with Hispanics
average representation in the USPS workforce, 7.4 percent, their shares of
promotions for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 were less and, for 2002,
slightly more. AAPI received 3.6 percent of all promotions in fiscal year
2000, 3.9 percent in fiscal year 2001, and 4.3 percent in fiscal year
2002. Their shares of promotions are less than their 3-year average
representation in the USPS workforce-about 6.7 percent.
o AIAN represented, on average, about .6 percent of the USPS workforce.
They accounted for .63 percent of all promotions in fiscal year 2000, .72
percent in fiscal year 2001, and .7 percent in fiscal year 2002.
o Hawaiians represented, on average, about .04 percent of the USPS
workforce, while accounting for about .02 percent of promotions in each of
the three fiscal years.
Figure 3 shows the shares of promotions by EEO groups. (See enc. III for
additional data.)

for a vacancy, the number considered best qualified, and the number
promoted.

Figure 3: USPS Career Employee Workforce Promotions by Race/Ethnicity as a
Percentage of Total Promotions for Fiscal Years 2000 through 2002
According to the USPS data, women accounted for about 46 percent of all
promotions in fiscal years 2000 and 2001, and about 47 percent in fiscal
year 2002. This exceeds their overall average representation in the USPS
workforce of 38 percent for the three years. The shares of promotions of
women across ethnic groups were relatively stable. The following shows the
breakout of promotions for women:
o White women accounted for 31.6 percent of all promotions in fiscal year
2000,
o 30.5 percent in fiscal year 2001, and 31.7 percent in fiscal year
2002. Their shares of promotions exceed their average representation in
the USPS workforce of about 22 percent.
o Black women represented, on average, about 10.1 percent of the USPS
workforce. They accounted for 10.1 percent of all promotions in fiscal
year 2000, 10.6 percent in fiscal year 2001, and 10.4 percent in fiscal
year 2002.
Page 9
GAO-03-745R Data on Career Employee Diversity in the Postal Service
o Hispanic and AIAN women experienced increases in their shares of
promotions in each of the three fiscal years. Hispanic women received 2.4
percent of all promotions in fiscal year 2000, 2.8 percent in fiscal year
2001, and 3 percent in fiscal year 2002. Compared with their average
representation in the USPS workforce, 2.3 percent, their shares of
promotions were greater in each of the three years. AIAN women received
.35 percent of all promotions in fiscal year 2000, .37 percent in fiscal
year 2001, and .39 percent in fiscal year 2002. Their shares of promotions
are slightly greater than their 3-year average representation in the USPS
workforce-about .3 percent.
o AAPI women accounted for 1.6 percent of all promotions in fiscal years
2000 and 2001 and 1.7 percent in fiscal year 2002. Their shares of
promotions are less than their average representation in the USPS
workforce of about 2.4 percent for the three years.
o Hawaiian women represented, on average, about .02 percent of the USPS
workforce for the three years. They accounted for no promotions in fiscal
years 2000 and 2001 and .02 percent in fiscal year 2002.
Figure 4 shows the shares of promotions of women by ethnicity for the
three fiscal years. (See enc. III for additional data.)

Promotions by Grade Levels
Promotions by grade levels varied among EEO groups. In grade levels 11-14,
the entry-level EAS positions, white males accounted for an average of
about 20 percent of the promotions for the three fiscal years compared
with their average representation in these grade levels-about 23 percent.
White women at this level received, on average, about 64 percent of the
promotions for the three fiscal years, which exceeded their average
representation in these grade levels of about 62 percent for the three
years. Shares of promotions for minority groups and other women at these
grade levels were generally greater than their average representation at
these grade levels. Blacks represented, on average, about 9.6 percent of
promotions in these levels for the three fiscal years, which is above
their 9.1 percent average representation in these levels. Hispanics and
AAPI followed with averages of 3.6 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively,
for the three years, while their representation, on average, was about 3
and 1.5 percent, respectively, in these grade levels. AIAN received, on
average, about .83 percent of the promotions for the three years in these
grade levels. This is less than their average representation in these
Page 11
GAO-03-745R Data on Career Employee Diversity in the Postal Service
levels-about 1.4 percent. Hawaiians did not receive any promotions in
these grade levels, but represented .023 of the workforce.
For other women in these grade levels for the three fiscal years, black
women accounted for an average of 8.2 percent of promotions, Hispanic
women an average of 2.7 percent, AAPI women an average of 1.1 percent,
AIAN women an average of .73 percent, and Hawaiian women were not
represented. Promotion of black, Hispanic, and AAPI women exceeded their
average representation in these grade levels for the 3-year period while
the promotion of women in other minority groups fell short of their
average representation.

At midlevel management positions, EAS levels 15-18, white males accounted
for an average of 39.5 percent of promotions for the three fiscal years,
which is below their average representation in these grade levels-about 43
percent for those years. Minorities share of promotions in these levels,
on average, about 33 percent was proportional to their average
representation in these grade levels of about 33 percent for the three
years. More specifically, blacks accounted for, on average, about 20.5
percent for the three years, which is lower than their average
representation in these grade levels of 22 percent. Hispanics followed at
an average of 7.6 percent for the three years, which is greater than their
average representation in the grade levels of 6.2 percent for those years.
AAPI represented, on average, about 3.3 percent for these grade levels,
while their average percentage of promotions in these grades was
greater-about 4.5 percent-for the three years. AIAN average promotions in
these grades were about .7 percent, which is greater than their average
representation in these grade levels of .6 for the same time period.

Women promoted in grade levels 15-18 exceeded their average representation
in the workforce for these levels for the three fiscal years except for
black and Hawaiian women. Among women, whites represented the largest
share of these promotions- averaging 27.3 percent-while representing, on
average, about 25 percent of the USPS workforce in these grade levels for
the three years. Black women followed with an average of 11.4 percent for
the three years, which was slightly less than their average representation
in these grade levels of 11.9 percent. Hispanic women accounted for an
average of 3 percent of these promotions for the three fiscal years, which
is greater than their average representation in these grade levels of 2.2
percent. AAPI women's average share of promotions-1.7 percent-was also

For the higher-level management positions, EAS grade levels 19-26, white
males received on average about 49 percent of the promotions for the
3-year period. This is less than their average representation in these
grade levels of about 56 percent over the same period. Minorities share of
promotions at these grade levels averaged about 29 percent for the three
years compared with their average representation at these grade levels of
27 percent over the same period. Blacks accounted for an average of 16.9
percent of the promotions for the three years, which is proportional to
their

average representation in these grade levels for the three years.
Hispanics followed with an average of 7.4 percent for the three years,
which is greater than their average representation in these grade levels
of 5.9 percent. AAPI represented, on average, about 3.4 percent of the
USPS workforce at these grade levels. Their average share of these
promotions was greater at about 3.9 percent for the three years. AIAN
promotions averaged about .7 percent, which was equal to their average
representation in these levels for the three years. Hawaiians average
share of promotions for the three years-.02-equaled their average
representation in these grade levels of .02 percent.
Promotions of all women EEO groups at the higher-grade levels (EAS 19-26)
exceeded their representation in these grade levels except for Hawaiian
women. White women received most of the promotions averaging 22 percent
for the three fiscal years, while representing an average of 17.5 percent
of the USPS workforce at these levels for the same period. Black women
followed with an average of 9 percent for the three years, which is
greater than their average representation in these levels of 8.2 percent.
Hispanic women accounted for an average of 2.2 percent of promotions for
the three years. This is greater than their average representation at
these levels of 1.5 percent for the same period. AAPI women's average
share of these promotions-1.7 percent-was also greater than their average
representation of 1.2 percent for the three years. AIAN women promotions
at these levels averaged about .3 percent, which was greater than their
average representation of about .2 percent for the three years.
Furthermore, Hawaiian women represented, on average, about .003 percent of
the workforce in these grade levels for the three years; however, they
received no promotions for the three years. Table 4 provides a breakdown
of promotions by race/ethnicity and gender for grade levels 19-26 for the

Promotion Process Stages
According to USPS data, over the three fiscal years, there were no
differences in the average representation of minorities and women as they
passed through the three promotion process stages-applications submitted,
considered best qualified, and promoted. Table 5 provides a breakdown of
the three promotion process stages for minorities and women for fiscal
years 2000 through 2002.

Throughout the three stages of the promotion process for each of the three
years, among minorities and women, the largest representation of all
promotion applications came from white women; this same pattern was also
found at the best qualified and promotion stages. Black women constituted
the next largest representation throughout the three stages, followed by
black men, Hispanic men and women, AAPI men and women, AIAN women and men,
and Hawaiian men and women.
For grade levels 00-10, white women represented the largest group of
employees who submitted applications; who were considered best qualified;
and who were promoted for each of the three years. The same holds true for
grade levels 11-14. For the higher-grade levels, 15-18 and 19-26, white
males represented the largest distribution for a specific EEO group for
all three promotion process stages for the three years. For example, in
grade levels 19-26 for fiscal year 2002, white males accounted for over 50
percent of the total applications submitted for promotions; about 49
percent of the total considered best qualified; and about 48 percent of
the total promoted.
Retirements: Total and Representation of Minorities and Women
USPS retirement data show that the number of retirements decreased
slightly from fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2001, but increased in
fiscal year 2002. Specifically, retirements went from 15,692 in fiscal
year 2000, to 15,504 in fiscal year 2001, and to 18,288 in fiscal year
2002.
The average representation of minorities and women retirements over the
3-year period was below their average representation in the workforce.
Minorities accounted for an average of about 27 percent and women 28
percent of all
Page 15
GAO-03-745R Data on Career Employee Diversity in the Postal Service
retirements for the three years, while their average representation in the
USPS workforce was about 36 and 38 percent, respectively. Blacks accounted
for an average of approximately 19 percent of all retirements for the
three years. This is less than their average representation in the USPS
workforce of 21 percent. Hispanic retirements averaged 5 percent for the
three fiscal years, which is less than their average representation in the
workforce-7.4 percent. AAPI retirements for the three fiscal years
averaged 2 percent, less than their average representation in the USPS
workforce of about 7 percent. The remaining groups-AIAN and Hawaiian-
retirements represented averages of .4 and .04 percent, respectively. AIAN
retirements were less than their average representation in the workforce
and Hawaiian retirements equaled their average representation in the
workforce.
For women, whites represented about 19 percent of all retirements,
followed by an average representation for blacks at about 8 percent,
Hispanics at .74 percent, AAPI at .41 percent, AIAN at .15 percent, and
Hawaiians at .02 percent for the three years. The shares of retirements
for each woman EEO group, except Hawaiians, were less than their average
representation in the USPS workforce. Hawaiians equaled their average
representation in the workforce. Figures 5 and 6, respectively, provide a
detailed breakout of the retirement representation by ethnicity for
minorities and women. (See enc. IV for additional data.)

Monetary Performance Awards: Total and Representation of Minorities and
Women
According to the USPS data, the number of monetary performance awards has
fluctuated over the course of the last three fiscal years. Specifically,
the numbers were 61,190 for fiscal year 2000, 54,604 for fiscal year 2001,
and 59,909 for fiscal year 2002. Overall, the average percentage of such
awards received by minorities and women--38 and 40 percent, respectively,
were slightly higher than their average representation in the workforce of
36 percent for minorities and 38 percent for women. Among minorities,
blacks received about one-half of the awards for each of the three fiscal
years-averaging 19 percent of all awards. This is less than their average
representation in the USPS workforce of 21 percent for the three years.
Regarding other minority groups, for the three fiscal years, performance
awards received by Hispanics, on average, exceeded their average
representation in the USPS workforce. Hispanics received 8.4 percent of
awards, while representing, on average, 7.4 percent of the USPS workforce.
AAPI received an average of about 10 percent of monetary performance
awards. This exceeds their average representation in the USPS workforce of
6.8 percent. Additionally, monetary performance awards received
Page 17
GAO-03-745R Data on Career Employee Diversity in the Postal Service
by AIAN equaled their average representation in the USPS workforce-about
.6 percent. The average representation of monetary performance awards
received by Hawaiians-.1 percent-was greater than their average
representation in the USPS workforce-.04 percent. Figures 7 shows the
shares of these awards for minorities by ethnicity for fiscal years 2000
through 2002.
Figure 7: USPS Career Employee Workforce Monetary Performance Awards by
Race/Ethnicity as a Percentage of Total Number of Monetary Performance
Awards for Fiscal Years 2000 through 2002
White women had the most representation among women, receiving an average
of about 22 percent of all such awards for the three fiscal years. This is
proportional to their average representation in the USPS workforce for
those years. For the 3-year period, black women received, on average,
about 10 percent of the monetary performance awards. This is also
proportional to their average representation in the USPS workforce.
Hispanic women received an average of 2.9 percent of awards, while
representing an average of 2.3 percent of the USPS workforce. AAPI women
represented an average of 2.4 percent of the USPS workforce for the three
years. This group exceeded its average representation in the USPS
workforce by receiving an average of 3.6 percent of the monetary
performance awards for the three fiscal years. The monetary performance
awards received by AIAN women were proportional to their average
representation in the USPS workforce-.26 percent for the three years.
Furthermore, Hawaiian women exceeded their average representation in the
USPS workforce receiving an average of .06 percent of
Page 18

monetary performance awards compared to their average representation of
.02 percent of the USPS workforce for the three years. Figure 8 shows the

Agency Comments
We requested comments on a draft of this report from the Postmaster
General. The USPS Vice President of Diversity Development informed us
orally that USPS concurred with the information provided in the letter. In
addition, USPS provided several technical clarifications, which we have
incorporated into this report where appropriate.
Scope and Methodology
To address our objective, we obtained, reviewed, and analyzed data and
documentation and interviewed USPS officials concerning career employee
profiles,
Page 19
GAO-03-745R Data on Career Employee Diversity in the Postal Service
promotions, voluntary retirements, and monetary performance awards for
fiscal years 2000, 2001, and 2002. We obtained and reviewed detailed data
and information for each fiscal year, including actual numbers and
percentages for each grade, including PCES, and aggregated for the entire
USPS by equal employment opportunity group for men and women-white, black,
Hispanic, AAPI, AIAN, and Hawaiians. To get an indication of whether the
data were sufficiently reliable, we performed testing of electronic data
for obvious errors of completeness and accuracy, reviewed related
information from prior GAO reports, and discussed data reliability issues
with USPS officials knowledgeable of the databases that produce this
information. We considered the data to be sufficiently reliable for the
informational purpose of this engagement. We performed our work from
August 2002 through June 2003 in accordance with generally accepted
government auditing standards.
