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 

 

1

See GAO, The Federal Workforce: Additional Insights Could Enhance Agency Efforts Related to 

Hispanic Representation, GAO-06-832 (Washington, D.C.: Aug. 17, 2006). 

2

EEOC 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. 
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

 

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 careerconditional 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.

Hispanics 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. 

 

4

For 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. 

 Page 2 GAO-07-493R Hispanic Representation Data
• 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. 

• 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. 

• 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. 

• 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 

 5

In 2006, the Chief Financial Officer Act agencies employed 98 percent of federal employees. 

6

EEOC also calls its categories, “job” or “employment” categories. For purposes of this report, we

refer to them as “occupational” categories. 

7

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. 

 Page 3 GAO-07-493R Hispanic Representation Data
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. 

• 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. 

• 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 available at no charge on 

GAO’s Web site at http://www.gao.gov.

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.

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 likeland 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 tit

federal occupations that had 10,000 or more federal employees as of September 2004. Data by federal occupation include permanent and nonpermanen

cHispanic representation in the overall CLF includes all occupations in the CLF (permanent and nonpermanent), according to the Census 2000 Special EE

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 Jun

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 Tra

Security Administration (TSA) reclassified approximately 44,000 Transportation Security Officer positions as Compliance Inspection & Support. After recl

54,178 individuals were employed in the federal workforce in occupations classified as Compliance Inspection & Support, and only 195 individuals were e
