Minorities and Women in State and Local Governments. 1974. Volume I--U.S. Summary. Research Report No. 52-1.
Reshad, Rosalind S.
One of six volumes summarizing through narrative and statistical tables data collected by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in its 1974 survey, this volume, "United States Summary," details nationwide statistics on the employment status of minorities and women. Data include forty-six state governments and virtually all local governments with 100 or more employees, plus a sample of local governments with fifteen to ninety-nine employees. Statistics in this study are designed to highlight various aspects of the employment status of persons by six mutually exclusive ethnic groups and by sex. Included in the survey are fifteen government functions, eight job categories, and salary data. The conclusion was made that statistics in this report show slight overall increases in the proportions of fulltime minority group and female employees in state and local government work forces since the first survey in 1973; nonetheless, equal employment opportunity had not been realized in 1974. Inequities in occupational distributions and in median annual salaries persisted for minorities and women. Appendixes, which make up the greater part of the document, contain statistical summaries of state and local government information, instructions for filing and report form, and source and reliability of data.
