You were concerned that women and minorities may be experiencing problems being promoted to high-level EAS management jobs. As agreed with your office, our objectives for this letter were to determine (1) whether the Postal Service's required promotion procedures were followed at selected locations for promotions to EAS levels 16 and above during fiscal year 1997 and (2) for these promotions, the percentages of women and minorities who submitted applications, were considered best qualified, and were promoted; also, how these percentages compared to women's and minorities' EAS levels 16 and above workforce representation at each respective location, before the promotions. In addition, we identified the equal employment opportunity (EEO) groups, specifically the gender and race/national origin, of those who applied for these promotions, those who were considered best qualified for the promotions, and those who were promoted.' 'The term best qualified as used in this letter refers to applicants recommended by a promotion review committee to the selecting official or, when a review committee was not used, refers to applicants that the selecting official interviewed before selecting the applicant to be promoted. If a review committee was not used and if the selecting official did not interview applicants, we did not include any applicants in the best-qualified category for any of our analyses.
