          Again this year, the First Place prize among Federal independent agencies in the Federal quota competition for hiring Hispanics goes to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) which hired 96.9% more Hispanics than EEOC's racial quota for Hispanics.

          And again this year the Last Place prize among Federal independent agencies in the quota competition for Hispanics was the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) which hired 79.2% fewer Hispanics than their racial quota.
          Overall, the five agencies that over hired Hispanics by the widest margins were EEOC, SBA, SSA, BBG and the NLRB. 

          Most other preferred groups were over hired to a lesser extent in these agencies with the exception of blacks.

Down: Detailed Table for Hispanics in Executive Departments
Table		           OPM's FY 2004 report reveals that among the 18 federal executive departments, the newly formed U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was the clear winner in the Federal competition to hire as many Hispanics as possible.

          According to the OPM data, in FY 2004 the U.S. DHS hired 98.9% more Hispanics than their proportion in the civilian labor force.

          For the second year in a row, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) finished in a miserable last place for quotas:  HHS "under hired" Hispanics by 62.8% below their racial quota.  The Dept. of Commerce and the U.S. Navy tied for 2nd place at -61.96% and -61.95% respectively.

Five best Executive Departments for Hispanics           The five "best" executive departments for over hiring Hispanics were DHS, HUD, Labor, Justice and Treasury.

          Perhaps the most striking feature of this graph is the extent to which the other preferred groups (excluding blacks) were "under hired" by the same five agencies compared to Hispanics.
