         Subject:     Data on Hispanic Representation in the Federal Workforce

         In August 2006, we reported to you on the results of our review, done at your request,
         of factors affecting Hispanic representation in the federal workforce and efforts being
         taken by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Office of
         Personnel Management (OPM), and other agencies related to Hispanic
         representation.' We reported that EEOC and OPM require agencies to analyze their
         workforces to help ensure equal employment opportunity and that EEOC requires
         agencies to analyze subsets of their workforce to determine whether barriers to such
         opportunities may exist.2 As indicated in that report, and as discussed with your
         offices, this report contains additional data on Hispanic representation in various
         subsets of the federal workforce with some comparisons to Hispanic representation



         'See GAO, The Federal Workforce: Additional Insights Could Enhance Agency Efforts Related to
         Hispanic Representation, GAO-06-832 (Washington, D.C.: Aug. 17, 2006).

         2EEOC defines barriers as agency policies, principles, or practices that limit or tend to limit
         employment opportunities for members of a particular gender, race, or ethnic background, or based on
         an individual's disability status.
