Subseries 1: Statistical Profiles of Work Force Composition in County Governments and Questionnaires on State Agency Affirmative Action Programs

Scope and Content Note:

This subseries consists of completed statistical profile forms (either the EEO-4 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission State or Local Government Information Form or the Workforce Analysis as of May 5, 1985 Form) that were returned to the Subcommittee on Affirmative Action by twenty-two counties and numerous state agencies. The profiles divide the work force by federal job categories: professional, paraprofessional, technical, office/clerical, skilled craft, service/maintenance, and protective services. Each of these categories is further divided into employee categories: sex, ethnic group (White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Other), Vietnam Era veteran, and disabled. For each of these job and employee categories, the profiles list total number of employees, and percentage of the total work force. These profiles were completed by government personnel officials or affirmative action officers. Also included in this subseries are completed questionnaires pertaining to the administration of affirmative action programs in over seventy state agencies. These questionnaires provide information on each state agency's affirmative action program including the agency's affirmative action committee makeup, affirmative action program implementation, publicity efforts, recruitment, special assistance for employees, and procedures for handling complaints. These questionnaires were sent to agencies by the Subcommittee on Affirmative Action as part of its investigation and were used by it to compile information prior to its fall 1985 hearings. The questionnaires were completed by administrative or affirmative action officers from each agency.

Arrangement:

The county profiles are arranged alphabetically by county name. The state agency profiles are arranged loosely by agency code number, then by year. The code numbers and corresponding agencies are listed in a document in B1F23. There is no discernible arrangement for the Affirmative Action Program questionnaires.
