In August 2006, GAO reported on factors affecting Hispanic representation in the federal workforce and efforts being taken by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and other agencies, including the Small Business Administration (SBA)--an independent agency that aids, counsels, assists, and protects the interests of small business concerns (GAO-06-832). In May 2007, GAO issued a report that contained data on Hispanic representation in the federal government through fiscal year 2006 (GAO-07-493R). In April 2008, GAO testified on diversity in the Senior Executive Service (SES) and the senior ranks of the U.S. Postal Service (GAO-08-609T). In response to a request to provide updated information on minorities and Hispanics in the federal workforce, GAO is providing demographic data--with an emphasis on Hispanic representation--related to the federal government as a whole and SBA's workforce. GAO obtained these data from OPM's Central Personnel Data File (CPDF). https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-725T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-725T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-725T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-725T.pdf GAO-08-725T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-725T Testimony GAO-08-725T; Human Capital: Workforce Diversity Governmentwide and at the Small Business Administration; Career planning Civilian employees Diversity management Employee promotions Employment discrimination Employment of minorities Employment opportunities Executive agencies Fair employment programs Federal agencies Federal employees Government job appointments GS grade classification Hispanics Human capital management Human capital planning Labor force Strategic planning Volume 67 Page 232 67 Stat. 232 Volume 104 Page 2838 104 Stat. 2838 Public Law 101-576
