One of six volumes summarizing through narrative and statistical tables data collected by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in its 1974 survey, this second volume details the employment status of minorities and women in state governments. 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 minorities and women in state governments are far from achieving representation equal to their overall civilian labor force participation in every occupation surveyed. For women and for all minority groups except Asian Americans, median annual salaries compared very unfavorably with men and whites, respectively. Employment growth rates indicate that state governments would have ample opportunity to change their employment profiles to provide increased job openings for minorities and women. Appendixes, which make up the greater part of the document, contain statistical summaries of state information collected and instructions for filing and report form. (TA)
