Gutierrez House of Representatives Dear Mr. Gutierrez: At your request, we examined data on Hispanic employment at the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) since fiscal year 1990. The data, as requested, cover USPS employees nationwide and in the Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York areas and include information on USPS employee hires, separations, and grade structure. As requested, we also obtained data on the number of equal employment opportunity (EEO) discrimination complaints filed by USPS' Hispanic employees. The USPS provided the employment and complaint data that we examined. We did not verify the accuracy of the data. In examining the data, we found that Hispanics, women more so than men, were underrepresented in the USPS workforce in comparison to their number in the nation's civilian labor force (CLF). We computed a representation index that indicates the extent to which an EEO group is represented in a workforce as compared to that group's representation in the CLF. Using this index where less than 100 indicates underrepresentation, Hispanic men had an index of 96 and Hispanic women had an index of 55 as of April 1993. As of that same date, Hispanic men were underrepresented in the Chicago and Los Angeles postal districts but not in the New York District. Hispanic women were underrepresented in all three districts. The three districts generally cover postal facilities in Chicago, Los-Angeles, and New York, and we compared the number of Hispanics in each district with the number of Hispanics in the civilian labor force of the metropolitan statistical area.
