This document is the first of two volumes of tables summarizing the data obtained from the Employer Information Reports (EEO-1) for 1978. Figures were obtained from a total of 39,000 employers with 36 million employees. These figures cover about half of all private, non-farm workers, as compared to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual average employment statistics. Volume 1 contains two tables. Table 1 relates occupational employment in private industry by race/ethnic group and sex and by industry in the United States (excluding Hawaii). Table 2 relates occupational employment in private industry by race/ethnic group and sex and by state and industry. An EEO-1 form and instructions are appended. (KC)
