Reginald Wells, Social Security's Deputy Commissioner for Human Resources and Chief Human Capital Officer testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on the subject of workforce diversity at Social Security. His written statement included the following interesting table on race and ethnicity in Social Security's Senior Executive Service (SES) workforce:
Race/Etnicity | SSA† | Civilian Labor Force * |
White | 53.4% | 72.5% |
Black | 28.2% | 10.2% |
Hispanic | 12.9% | 12.8% |
Asian | 4.2% | 4.1% |
American-Indian | 1.2% | 0.6% |
† SSA workforce profile as of March 31, 2007
* CLF data based on 09/30/2005 OPM figures
The statement talks about diversity in the SES. What are the figures for the ALJ category?
ReplyDeleteSSA needs to stop worrying about diversity and hire/promote the most capable people. If you want diversity go work at the United Nations.
ReplyDeleteWhites are underrepresented and Blacks are overrepresented. Why??
