Complaints and lawsuits may be resolved in various ways including settlements, withdrawals, judicial resolutions, and administrative resolutions. Data on occupational groups and protected class representation are organized by year. Each report provides information effective December 31 st of each year. Information on new hires, personnel actions and complaints and lawsuits is based upon a calendar year. The four metropolitan agencies have a total of 4,333 employees, which is a decrease of 43 employees from the previous report.
Minorities continue to be underrepresented in particular occupational groups and agencies.
Not all racial groups are represented in each agency. In general, women and persons with disabilities are not represented in the metropolitan agencies in proportion to their representation in the general workforce. Persons with disabilities are not represented in proportion to their numbers in the general workforce. Reporting on persons with disabilities continues to depend upon employees self-identifying as persons with disabilities. This factor continues to create difficulties in making accurate conclusions about the representation of persons with disabilities in the metropolitan agencies.
