In the Professional category, all EEO groups, except Asian American/Pacific Isladers are below their Civilian Labor Force (CLF) representation. During the past four years the total number of employees in the category has increased from 295 employees in 1989 to 320 employees in 1992. The number and percent representation of African-Americans employed in these positions has steadily increased during this period, and the number and percent of Hispanics is now above the level initially reported in the Board's MYP. Although the number of women employed in Professional positions has increased, their percent representation in the permanent work force is slightly below the level initially reported. However, both the number and percent representation of Asian American/Pacific Islanders working in Professional occupations are now above the levels reported in the Board's MYP and the percent representation surpasses the CLF percent representation. American Indian/Alaskan Natives remain conspicuously absent.

In the Administrative category there are two EEO groups, Hispanics and American Indian/Alaskan Natives that are below the CLF representation. During the three year period the number of Hispanics employed increased by 8 and the percent representation is steadily approaching the CLF representation. While, the number and percent representation of American Indian/Alaskan Natives increased in the Administrative category, this group remains conspicuously absent.

In the Technical category, there are only two EEO groups, Hispanics and American Indian/Alaskan Natives, that are below the CLF representation. The number and percent representation of Hispanics employed decreased during 1992 and the American Indian/Alaskan Native group remains conspicuously absent from the Technical category.

Analysis of Major Occupations Data

Major occupations are defined as mission oriented or related occupations, or occupations with 100 or more employees that have potential for specific career advancement. The Board has designated five such occupational groups: economists, attorney/law clerks, computer specialists, bank operations/financial analysts, and research assistants/economic assistants. At year-end 1992, these occupational groups include a total of 870 employees or 51 percent of the Board's permanent work force.

The Board was successful in increasing the representation in most of the groups identified as manifestly imbalanced or conspicuously absent. Last year, the Commission noted that the financial analysts occupation was the only major occupation in which there was no improvement. In 1992, progress made in the employment of Hispanic and Asian employment representation in this category, as indicated by an increase of employment of 2 employees in each group. Other areas improvement include Hispanic economists and Asian bank operations analysts. American Indian/Alaskan Natives remain conspicuously absent from all the major occupations, except computer specialists.

The data that was used as the basis for following summary analysis are contained on the following page.

The total number of officers increased by 7. There were increases in female and minority officer representation of 3 and 1, respectively.

The number of employees in upper grades FR/EC 25-29 increased by 51. The number of women and minorities, except American Indian/Alaskan Native increased in the senior level grades FR/EC 25-29.

Minority Representation

The representation of minorities in grades FR/EC 25-29 increased by 17. The largest increase was in grade FR 25, 11. Minorities finally achieved representation in all grades in this range. The promotion of a black male to grade FR/EC 29 and the appointment of another black male to the official staff resulted in a decrease in the representation of black males in grade FR/EC 28. This decrease was offset by the promotion of an Hispanic male to grade FR/EC 28.
