Data on Hispanic Representation in the Federal Workforce	 
(18-MAY-07, GAO-07-493R).					 
                                                                 
In August 2006, we reported to Congress on the results of our	 
review, which Congress requested, of factors affecting Hispanic  
representation in the federal workforce and efforts being taken  
by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM), and other agencies related to	 
Hispanic representation. We reported that EEOC and OPM require	 
agencies to analyze their workforces to help ensure equal	 
employment opportunity and that EEOC requires agencies to analyze
subsets of their workforce to determine whether barriers to such 
opportunities may exist. As indicated in that report, and as	 
discussed with Congress, this report contains additional data on 
Hispanic representation in various subsets of the federal	 
workforce with some comparisons to Hispanic representation in the
Civilian Labor Force (CLF). The data in this report provide a	 
foundation for further analyses by agency officials and 	 
policymakers as they consider a broad spectrum of issues related 
to Hispanic representation in the federal workforce. These data  
include analyses by agency, selected occupation, occupational	 
category, grade, and among new hires. For purposes of these	 
analyses, the federal workforce governmentwide includes civilian 
employees of all cabinet-level departments, independent agencies,
commissions, councils, and boards in the executive branch except 
the intelligence agencies, the Postal Service, and the Foreign	 
Service (as of 2006).

Subject: Data on Hispanic Representation in the Federal Workforce

In August 2006, we reported to you on the results of our review, done at
your request, of factors affecting Hispanic representation in the federal
workforce and efforts being taken by the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and other
agencies related to Hispanic representation.1 We reported that EEOC and
OPM require agencies to analyze their workforces to help ensure equal
employment opportunity and that EEOC requires agencies to analyze subsets
of their workforce to determine whether barriers to such opportunities may
exist.2 As indicated in that report, and as discussed with your offices,
this report contains additional data on Hispanic representation in various
subsets of the federal workforce with some comparisons to Hispanic
representation in the Civilian Labor Force (CLF).3 (See enclosure 1.) The
data in this report provide a foundation for further analyses by agency
officials and policymakers as they consider a broad spectrum of issues
related to Hispanic representation in the federal workforce. These data
include analyses by agency, selected occupation, occupational category,
grade, and among new hires. For purposes of these analyses, the federal
workforce governmentwide includes civilian employees of all cabinet-level
departments, independent agencies, commissions, councils, and boards in
the executive branch except the intelligence agencies, the Postal Service,
and the Foreign Service (as of 2006).4

1See GAO, The Federal Workforce: Additional Insights Could Enhance Agency
Efforts Related to Hispanic Representation, GAO-06-832 (Washington, D.C.:
Aug. 17, 2006).

2EEOC defines barriers as agency policies, principles, or practices that
limit or tend to limit employment opportunities for members of a
particular gender, race, or ethnic background, or based on an individual's
disability status.

The data in this report are descriptive and our analyses did not include
any statistical tests controlling for citizenship, education, or other
factors that can affect an individual's placement in the federal workforce
or the CLF. These data are not intended to and do not show either the
existence or absence of discrimination against Hispanics or any other
group by a federal agency. Additionally, these data should be considered
in the context of changes to the size, structure, and occupational
composition and hiring needs of individual agencies and the federal
workforce as a whole. For example, in 2003 the Department of Homeland
Security was formed from portions of other cabinet-level departments,
including the Departments of Justice, Transportation, and Treasury, and
all of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, an independent agency. We
did not report data on Hispanic representation where the total number of
employees in the particular subset of the federal workforce was less than
20 because a single employee within a subset of less than 20 employees can
change representation levels by 5 percent or more. We also indicated where
the total number of employees in a particular subset ranged from 20 to 50.

For our analyses of Hispanic representation among on-board federal
employees, we included both permanent and nonpermanent employees because
the CLF, to which the federal workforce is often compared, includes both
permanent and nonpermanent employees. However, because about half of all
new federal hires are nonpermanent employees compared to about a tenth of
all current federal employees, for our analyses of Hispanic representation
among new hires, we provided data on Hispanic representation separately
for permanent and nonpermanent hires. Permanent employees include those
who have career or career-conditional appointments, while nonpermanent
employees include those with a temporary or limited term appointment or
other appointment that does not make them eligible to become a career
employee. In  our August 2006 report, we reported on the reliability of
the same datasets used for these analyses--the Central Personnel Data File
(CPDF) and the Census 2000 Special EEO File. Because we use these datasets
in this report for similar purposes as they were used in our August 2006
report, we consider these datasets sufficiently reliable for the purposes
of this report.

3Hispanics are defined as persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central
or South American, or other Spanish culture or origin. The CLF is defined
as those 16 and older (including federal workers) who are employed or
looking for work and not in the military or institutionalized. With a few
exceptions, 18 years is the minimum age for federal employment.

4For on-board employees, the Foreign Service is not included for all 2006
data, and for new hires, the Foreign Service is not included as of March
2006.

           o In table 1, we provide data on Hispanic representation for each
           of the 24 Chief Financial Officer Act agencies,5 using the CPDF
           for each of the years 1990-2006. The CPDF is a database maintained
           by OPM that contains individual records for most federal employees
           and personnel actions. It is the primary governmentwide source for
           information on federal employees.

           o In table 2, we provide data on Hispanic representation in the
           CLF and governmentwide by EEOC's occupational categories.6 EEOC
           uses nine occupational categories for the federal
           workforce--officials and managers, professionals, technicians,
           sales, office and clerical, craft workers, operatives, laborers,
           and service workers. EEOC also requires private sector employers
           to report data using these nine categories. We determined Hispanic
           representation in the federal workforce by EEOC's occupational
           categories using the CPDF for each of the years 2000-2006. We did
           not analyze Hispanic representation using EEOC's categories for
           the federal workforce or CLF for 1990 because changes in how
           federal occupations were categorized in 1990 versus 2000 did not
           allow us to adequately conduct these analyses. For the analysis of
           Hispanic representation in the CLF by EEOC's occupational
           categories, we used the Census 2000 Special EEO File. The Census
           2000 Special EEO File is a tabulation based on decennial Census
           data, which permits analyses of representation in the CLF by
           occupation, race, ethnicity, and gender. The Census Bureau
           prepares these files based on specifications set by EEOC, OPM, the
           Department of Justice, and the Department of Labor.

           o In table 3, we provide data on Hispanic representation
           governmentwide by OPM's occupational categories. OPM, which is
           responsible for classifying federal occupations, uses six
           occupational categories; one covering blue-collar occupations,
           which includes occupations comprising the trades, crafts, and
           manual labor, and five covering white-collar
           occupations--professional, administrative, technical, clerical,
           and other white collar.7 We determined Hispanic representation in
           the federal workforce governmentwide by OPM's occupational
           categories using the CPDF for 1990 and each of the years
           2000-2006. We did not analyze CLF data by OPM's occupational
           categories because some federal occupations are included in
           multiple categories depending upon the employee's grade level and
           the Census 2000 Special EEO File does not have comparable
           grade-level data to allow us to adequately conduct an analysis.

           o In table 4, we provide data on Hispanic representation in
           federal occupations and in similar occupations in the CLF. We
           selected the occupations which in September 2004 had 10,000 or
           more federal employees--47 occupations in total. For Hispanic
           representation in these occupations governmentwide, we used the
           CPDF for each of the years 2000-2006. For Hispanic representation
           in these occupations in the CLF, we analyzed the Census 2000
           Special EEO File. To match the federal occupations with similar
           occupations in the CLF, we used a crosswalk provided to us by
           EEOC.
		   
5In 2006, the Chief Financial Officer Act agencies employed 98 percent of
federal employees.

6EEOC also calls its categories, "job" or "employment" categories. For
purposes of this report, we refer to them as "occupational" categories.

7For the white-collar occupations, OPM considers the subject matter of
work, the level of difficulty or responsibility involved, and the
educational requirements of each occupation in determining the
occupational category.

           o In tables 5 through 30, we provide data on Hispanic
           representation by pay plan/ grade. Table 5 contains governmentwide
           data and tables 6 through 30 contain data for each agency, using
           the CPDF for each of the years 1990-2006 in groupings of Blue
           Collar (wage grade), General Schedule grades 1 through 4, 5
           through 8, and 9 through 12; separately for grades 13, 14, and 15;
           and separately for those in the Senior Executive Service, Senior
           Level/Senior Technical positions, and under the Executive
           Schedule.

           o In tables 31 through 34, we provide data on Hispanic
           representation governmentwide and in table 35, for each agency,
           among new hires, separately for permanent and nonpermanent hires,
           using the CPDF for 1990 and each of the years 2000-2006.
           Governmentwide, we provide data on new hires overall, by pay
           plan/grade, and EEOC's and OPM's occupational categories. In the
           definition of permanent new hires, we included
           reinstatements--those who had career status when they were
           separated from the federal workforce and received new career
           appointments. We did not include the Federal Bureau of
           Investigation in the new hire data because it does not submit data
           to the CPDF on hires and other personnel actions. Additionally,
           beginning in January 2006, OPM required agencies to ask new hires
           to identify whether or not they are Hispanic--their
           ethnicity--separate from or regardless of their race rather than,
           as previously required, in response to a single question where
           Hispanic could be selected from a list of racial and ethnic
           groups, which could affect the reported percentage of Hispanic new
           hires.

We provided the Chair of EEOC, the Director of OPM, the Attorney General,
and the Secretary of Commerce with a draft of this report for their review
and comment. EEOC, OPM, and the Department of Commerce provided technical
comments, which we incorporated as appropriate. In response to comments by
the Department of Justice, we have added explanatory notes to tables 2 and
4. Justice's comments are reprinted in enclosure II.

                                   _ _ _ _ _

We will send copies of this report to the Chair of EEOC, the Director of
OPM, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Commerce, the Chairman of
the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and other interested parties. Copies
will be made available to others upon request. This report will also be

CPDF, 1990-2006 for the federal workforce by agency.

aData on Hispanic representation by agency include the permanent and
nonpermanent workforces of each agency and are as of September of the
indicated year.

bAccording to OPM's reports, Hispanic representation governmentwide is
based on the permanent federal workforce as of September 1990-2004 and
June 2005-2006.

cThe Federal Emergency Management Agency became part of the Department of
Homeland Security in 2003.

dThe Department of Homeland Security was not in existence until 2003.

eThis percentage does not include Foreign Service personnel because the
State Department stopped submitting Foreign Service data to the CPDF in
2006.

Notes: The data in this table are descriptive and do not reflect
statistical tests controlling for citizenship, education, or other factors
that can affect the likelihood of Hispanics and non-Hispanics being
employed in the federal workforce relative the nonfederal workforce.
Federal workforce data include permanent and nonpermanent employees as of
September of the indicated year.

aEEOC requires federal agencies to report on the race and ethnicity of
their workforces by these categories. Although both EEOC and OPM require
agencies to report data by occupational category, EEOC's and OPM's
categories are not identical and often do not include the same
occupations. For example, EEOC includes law enforcement occupations in its
Services category while OPM includes them in its Administrative category.

bThe CLF is defined as those 16 and older (including federal workers) who
are employed (permanent and nonpermanent) or looking for work and not in
the military or institutionalized. Percentages calculated by GAO on
Hispanic representation in the CLF vary from 0.00 to 0.08 from those
generated by the Census Bureau and are due to rounding among other
factors.

cThe Officials-managers category, in additional to occupations with
supervisory or significant policy responsibilities, includes occupations
which are primarily business, financial, and administrative in nature, but
do not have such responsibilities, such as Administrative Officers.

aOPM requires federal agencies to report the race and ethnicity of their
workforces using these six occupational categories; one covering
blue-collar occupations, which includes occupations comprising the trades,
crafts, and manual labor, and five covering white-collar
occupations--professional, administrative, technical, clerical, and other
white collar. For the white-collar occupations, OPM considers the subject
matter of work, the level of difficulty or responsibility involved, and
the educational requirements of each occupation in determining the
occupational category. Although both EEOC and OPM require agencies to
report data by occupational category, EEOC's and OPM's categories are not
identical and often do not include the same occupations. For example, EEOC
includes law enforcement occupations in its Services category while OPM
includes them in its Administrative category.

bEmployees in occupation code 3506, Summer Aid/Student Aid are not
included solely in the Blue-collar category, but are included in the
relevant category based on their pay plan/grade.

Source: GAO analysis of the Census 2000 Special EEO File for the CLF and
the CPDF, 2000-2006 for the federal workforce by occupation. OPM's Sixth
Annual Report to the President on Hispanic Employment in the Federal
Government for Hispanic representation governmentwide, 2000-2006.

Notes: The data in this table are descriptive and do not reflect
statistical tests controlling for citizenship, education, or other factors
that can affect the likelihood of Hispanics and non-Hispanics being
employed in the federal workforce relative to the nonfederal workforce.

aOPM classifies every position in the federal government into a particular
occupation code. Data are listed by OPM's occupational codes and OPM job
titles. We analyzed federal occupations that had 10,000 or more federal
employees as of September 2004. Data by federal occupation include
permanent and nonpermanent employees and are as of September of the
indicated year. To match the federal occupations with similar occupations
in the CLF, we used a crosswalk provided to us by EEOC.

bPercentages calculated by GAO on Hispanic representation in the CLF vary
from 0.00 to 0.08 from those generated by the Census Bureau and are due to
rounding among other factors.

cHispanic representation in the overall CLF includes all occupations in
the CLF (permanent and nonpermanent), according to the Census 2000 Special
EEO File. The CLF is defined as those 16 and older (including federal
workers) who are employed or looking for work and not in the military or
institutionalized.

dAccording to OPM's reports, Hispanic representation governmentwide is
based on the permanent federal workforce as of September 2000-2004 and
June 2005-2006.

e Federal occupation code 1895 did not exist until 2004.

fThis percentage also includes Hispanic representation in Compliance
Inspection & Support positions, occupation code 1802. In fiscal year 2006,
the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reclassified
approximately 44,000 Transportation Security Officer positions as
Compliance Inspection & Support. After reclassification, 54,178
individuals were employed in the federal workforce in occupations
classified as Compliance Inspection & Support, and only 195 individuals
were employed in positions classified as Safety Technicians, occupation
code 19.

Note: These data include permanent and nonpermanent employees as of
September of the indicated year.

aSES are those in the Senior Executive Service, both permanent and
nonpermanent, paid according to the SES pay schedule. These are the
highest nonpolitically appointed leaders in the federal workforce.

bSL/ST includes those in the Senior Level and Senior Technical pay plans.
These are primarily engineers, scientists, and other top-level
professionals. They do not have the leadership roles of the SES.

cExecutives are politically appointed agency leaders paid according to the
Executive Schedule.

dOther includes those who could not be placed in a pay plan or grade
listed above.

*The total number of individuals employed at this grade level or in this
pay plan ranged from 20-50.

**Because the total number of individuals employed in this category was
less than 20 (1-19), GAO is not reporting Hispanic representation at this
grade level or in this pay plan.
