The continuing, incredible 10,000 pound rhinoceros in the room is that this year's OPM
report -- like the past five years we have analyzed -- continues to show the enormous
amount by which blacks have been over hired beyond their "quota" compared to
every other preferred race/gender group. This phenomenon
becomes starkly evident when the feds' quota hiring data is sorted according to the
"best departments / agencies" for each specific preferred group. |

HISPANICS: Top
Ten Federal Racial Quota Employers
Hispanics in the Federal Independent
Agencies:
The five best independent agencies for Hispanics are among the worst agencies for Asian
Pacific Islanders and for Native Americans.
Because Blacks are over hired by such a huge margin, their
inclusion in this graphic tends to make the over hiring of Hispanics more difficult to observe, so we have reproduced the same graphic,
immediately below to the right, without Blacks.
Rates by which Hispanics were over hired in the independent agencies:
| 98% |
EEOC
(Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) |
| 46% |
SBA
(Small Business Administration |
| 37% |
SSA
(Social Security Administration |
| 30% |
NLRB
(National Labor Relations Board) |
| 19% |
BBG
(Broadcast Board of Governors |

Blacks are over hired to such a large extent their data
tend to obscure the Hispanic over hiring.

Here is the same graphic for Hispanics without Blacks shown.

Hispanics in the Federal Executive
Departments:
Similarly, the five best Executive Depts. for Hispanics are
among the worst for Women, Native Americans and Asian Pacific Islanders.
As with the previous graphic, Blacks are over hired by such a huge margin that their
inclusion in this graphic tends to make the over hiring of Hispanics more difficult to observe, so we have reproduced the same graphic,

ASIAN-PACIFIC
ISLANDERS: Top Ten Federal Racial Quota Employers
Asian Pacific Islanders in the Federal
Independent Agencies:
The five best independent agencies for Asian
Pacific Islanders are among
the worst agencies for women, Native Americans and Hispanics.
Since blacks are over hired by such an enormous amount, the
inclusion of blacks in this graphic tends to distort and diminish the over hiring of Asian Pacific Islanders. Therefore, we have presented the same
graphic immediately below and to the right which shows the over hiring of Asian Pacific Islanders without including blacks in the graphic.
Rates by which Asian Pacific
Islanders were over hired by
the top 5 federal independent agencies:
| 189% |
BBG
(Broadcast Board of Governors) |
| 86% |
SEC
(Securities and Exchange Commission) |
| 54% |
NRC
(Nuclear Regulatory Commission) |
| 32% |
PBGC
(Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation) |
| 11% |
NASA
(National Aeronautics and Space Administration |
|
Blacks are over hired to such a large extent their data
tend to obscure the over hiring of Asians.
 |
This is the same graphic as above, but without blacks.
The over hiring of Asian
Pacific Islanders is more
apparent.
 |
|
|
Asian Pacific Islanders in the Federal
Executive Departments:
The five best Executive Depts. for Asian
Pacific Islanders are among
the worst for Women and Hispanics. Blacks did relatively well in the best
departments for Asians.
Since Native Americans were over hired by such an enormous amount by HHS,
the inclusion of Native
Americans in this graphic
tends to distort and diminish the over hiring of Asian Americans. Therefore, we have presented the same graphic immediately below
and to the right which shows the over hiring of Asian Pacific Islanders without including Native
Americans in the graphic.
Within the top 5 executive departments for Asian Pacific Islanders, their rate of over hiring was:
| 133% |
U.S.
Navy |
| 79% |
Dept.
of Commerce |
| 33% |
VA
(Veterans Administration) |
| 32% |
Defense
Activities |
| 30% |
HHS
(Dept. of Health and Human Services) |
|
Native
Americans were over hired to
such a large extent by HHS that the inclusion of this data tends to obscure the over
hiring of Asians.
 |
This is the same graphic as above, but without Native Americans. The over hiring of Asian Pacific Islanders is more apparent.

NATIVE
AMERICANS: Top Ten Federal Racial Quota Employers
Native Americans in the Federal Independent
Agencies:
The five best independent agencies in terms of over hiring Native Americans are among the worst for Women, Asian Pacific Islanders, and
Hispanics.
Since Blacks were over hired to such an enormous extent by the
same five independent agencies, the inclusion of blacks in this graphic tends to diminish
the extent to which Native
Americans were over hired by
these five agencies. Therefore, immediately below and to the right we have produced
the same graphic without including blacks so that the reader can better appreciate the
extent of these agencies' over hiring of Native Americans.
Rates by which Native Americans were over hired by the five best independent agencies for
this racial group:
| 70% |
SI
(Smithsonian Institution) |
| 20% |
SSA
(Social Security Administration) |
| -10% |
GSA
(General Services Administration) |
| -11% |
EPA
(Environmental Protection Agency) |
| -11% |
NASA
(National Aeronautics and Space Administration) |
|
Blacks were over hired to such a large extent their data
tend to obscure the over hiring of Native
Americans.
 |
This is the same graph as above but without blacks so that the over hiring of Native Americans by the independent agencies is more visible.
 |
|
|
Native Americans in the Federal Executive Departments:
Similarly, the five best Executive Depts. for Native Americans were among the worst for Hispanics, Asian Pacific Islanders, and other
preferred minorities.
Rates by which Native Americans were over hired:
| 1,536% |
HHS
(Health and Human Services) |
| 1,018% |
Interior
(Dept. of the Interior) |
| 118% |
Agriculture

WOMEN: Top Ten
Federal Gender Quota Employers
Again this year, one of the most
perplexing things -- perhaps even a deliberately confounding thing -- about the OPM's
racial / gender hiring data is the tabulation of "women".
The category "women", as defined by OPM in its report, includes all
women regardless of race or ethnicity. Therefore this category includes white women
as well as "preferred minority" women. Thus, comparing OPM's
"women" category to the other preferred groups is difficult and misleading since
the other preferred racial groups (Asian Pacific, Hispanic, Native American, and black)
include both males and females of their racial group in the tabulations.
Women in the Federal Independent Agencies:
The five best independent agencies for Women are among the worst agencies for Native Americans.
The over hiring of Blacks is so enormous that inclusion of blacks in this
graphic tends to obscure the data for Women, so a second graphic without blacks appears
immediately below and to the right.
Rates by which Women were over hired by their best five independent
agencies:
| 28% |
SSA
(Social Security Administration) |
| 8% |
NSF
(National Science Foundation) |
| -0.6% |
GSA
(General Services Administration) |
| -0.6% |
CSOS
(Court Services and Offender Services) |
| -6.1% |
EEOC
(Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) |
|
Blacks were over hired to such a large extent their data
tend to obscure the over hiring of Women.
 |
This is the same graphic without blacks so the over hiring of Women is more visible.
 |
|
|
Women in the Federal Executive Departments:
Curiously, the five best federal executive departments for women of all races are among
the worst for both male and female Hispanics.
Blacks and Native Americans were over hired to such a large extent their data tend to obscure the
over hiring of Women of all races. Therefore, this same graph is
duplicated immediately below and to the right without Blacks and Native Americans.
Rates by which Women of all races (white included) were over hired by these five executive
departments:
| 26% |
Treasury
Dept. |
| 23% |
HHS
(Health and Human Services) |
| 12% |
VA
(Veterans Administration) |
| 7% |
Defense
Activities |
| -5% |
Commerce
Dept. |
|
Blacks and Native Americans were over hired to such a large extent their data tend to obscure the
over hiring of Women of all races.
 |
This is the same graphic as above but without Blacks or Native Americans in order to
better see the over hiring of Women of all races by these five departments.
