Criticality of Archival Demographic Data in Preparing for Equal Employment/Discrimination Court Challenges

Abstract

Federal employees are increasingly confronting and challenging what they perceive as discriminatory activity in personnel matters. Statistical analysis of the workforce is required to resolve these issues, and this report points out the critical nature of archival data in that analysis. A summary of the history of equal employment opportunities in the Federal service is presented. A specific case which illustrates the criticality of archival data is cited. The implications of errors in the statistical data are presented and recommendations for corrective actions are given.
