African Americans make up 17.4 percent of the federal workforce, as compared to 10.1 percent of the civilian labor force. But the percentage of African Americans drops dramatically with each rise in job grade. They hold 27.6 percent of the lowest positions (GS 1-4), 25.8 percent of GS 5-8, 15.7 percent of GS 9-12, 10.9 percent of GS 13-15 and just 6.9 percent of Senior Pay levels. Advance Your Career
Hispanics make up just 7.3 percent of the federal workforce versus 12.6 percent of the civilian labor force. They hold about 9 percent of the GS 1-4 and 5-8 job grade positions and 3.4 percent of Senior Pay-level jobs.

Representation Among Agencies and Departments
Minority hiring patterns also vary by government agency and department when representation is compared to that in relevant civilian job roles. According to the 2004 FEORP report, African Americans are well represented at the departments of Education, Housing and Urban Development, Veterans Affairs and Treasury.
Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are similarly represented in the US Navy, Department of Commerce, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
American Indians are concentrated in the departments of Health and Human Services and Interior, the Social Security Administration and the Smithsonian Institution.
Finally, Hispanics/Latinos are prominent at the Department of Homeland Security and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as well as the Social Security Administration.
The post office appears to be a “closed shop” to those who don’t have specific skin pigments.
An undated article but I have a feeling this is about 10 years old and blacks + minorities in the Federal governments is higher now. Further out of proportion to their populations
ALSO among whites in the Federal workforce how many are women getting preferential treatment and affirmative action bennies? If you are a white heterosexual male who would like a Federal job you are screwed. That’s my take. White heterosexual males pay the bulk of Federal taxes yet get screwed out of working for Los Federales.
Unions especially funnel money to the Democrat party.
I thing that there are a ton less whites in government jobs as a percentage of their population than our minorities.
IMO some minorities have only about 15% working in the private sector and that IMO is a problem.
Isn’t it great?
We fought two wars against Mexico and Spain and somehow that makes them an oppressed minority.
When do former SS members get their Protected Class status?
“Hispanics/Latinos are prominent at the Department of Homeland Security and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission”
Yup. Lots of Mexican police in the USA now! 52% of the border patrol or so. And 45% of the Los Angeles PD, up from ZERO in 1945.
Makes immense sense to discriminate against the people who created these institutions and hire people from countries which have the worst reputations for police corruption, brutality and hatred for De Ahn-glos.
Yessirree. One might get the impression that the people in power are hiring our enemies because they just might be willing to do The Deed that our people would never do.
I have read that Chinese/Asians have flooded into Post Office jobs in the last 20 years. Not to mention it was ye old reliable job in the black communities.
“Diversity” is what has helped destroy America. I would like to hear Trump say that he will put an end to hiring quatas once elected President.
“I have read that Chinese/Asians have flooded into Post Office jobs in the last 20 years”
I have not seen a white male working for the PO in the SF peninsula area for going on a decade now.
What’s really amazing is talking to them. They don’t understand or speak much English. I have no idea how they are supposedly reading the addresses.
PS - guess who greets you at Immigration when you’re coming back in to the U.S.?
One of them said, “welcome to the United States!”. I said, “Same to you!”
Isn’t that discrimination? Hiring a person based on their skin color?
You are joking! BTW there has been no Federal Civil Service test for a few decades so this is going to lead to minorities, gays, lesbians in positions of power only hiring their own kind.
Anyone have any input on this non-existent Federal civil service test?
It’s time to “Flee Babylon” because I think sudden destruction may be on the way....
When I am elected President the only people allowed to immigrate here will be hot women from former European communist nations. Perhaps The Donald could adopt this as part of his platform?
I worked for the feds for over 30 years. Blacks were hired in large numbers, at mid-level grades. Few of them could actually master any of the jobs they were given. As soon as they got their “time in grade” they were promoted. The higher they moved up, the more white people they needed to straighten out all their mistakes. Once they got high enough in the actual workforce, they were promoted into management to take them out of the actual workflow. In management they could strut around, act like bigshots, and do absolutely nothing.
Government will never get over its uselessness and ineptness unless they hire “qualified people” not based on the color of thier skin or thier ethnic background
I can tell you, as a former federal employee, under the Dept. of Defense, Dept. of Commerce - Census Bureau, and the V.A., the ‘diversity’ can override the actual ‘work experience and commutable knowledge’ for the job.
Veterans Preference counts for a great deal there. In fact, to pass over a disabled veteran is well nigh impossible and every veteran not selected for employment gets a letter explaining why. If this has changed recently I do not know about it.
Works for me!
Probably half the hot females of the slavic countries want to move here.
Let em in!
We’ll all be happier for it...except the NARAL/NOW hags who are all fading into childless old age.
Also, they are far more likely to engage in civil unrest IF YOU TRY TO MAKE CUTS TO THEIR AGENCIES. This is how the gubmint monster ensures its proliferation.
That’s odd considering the gubmint treats illegal aliens better than veterans.
