Waxman Ranking Minority Member Committee on Government Reform House of Representatives The Honorable Danny K. Davis Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on Civil Service and Agency Organization Committee on Government Reform House of Representatives Subject: U.S. Postal Service: Data on Career Employee Diversity Over the years, Committees and members of Congress have requested information about employee equal opportunity and diversity issues at the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). This report follows up on our past reports concerning diversity issues at the USPS and responds to your request for more current information on the representation of minorities and women at the USPS.' As agreed with your offices, our objective was to provide data on the makeup (numbers and percentages) for each equal employment opportunity (EEO) group-white, black, Hispanic, Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI), American Indian and Alaskan Native (AIAN), and Native Hawaiian (Hawaiian)-and gender group of USPS career employees2 for USPS fiscal years 2000 through 2002. These data are provided for (a) all employees, (b) employees who were promoted, (c) employees who voluntarily retired, and (d) employees who received monetary performance awards. Also, these data are provided for all employee levels, including craft employees, technicians, officials and managers, and senior executive service employees. Information contained in this report was obtained from USPS databases, which we deemed sufficiently reliable for the informational purpose of this engagement.
