President Barack Obama has signed an executive order directing the federal government to design a new strategy for hiring, promoting and keeping workers of diverse backgrounds. The three-page order released Thursday directs the head of the Office of Personnel Management, a deputy director at the Office of Management and Budget and two other agencies to develop the strategy within 90 days. Agencies then have 120 days to implement it. An Office of Personnel Management report says that in fiscal year 2010, the federal workforce was 66.2 percent white, 17.7 percent black, 8 percent Hispanic, 5.6 percent Asian/Pacific Islander, 1.8 percent Native American. It was 56.1 percent male.

Just what we need, more racial quotas. Probably they think the "problem" is that there are too many white and not enough Hispanic federal workers.

Don’t forget—he wants to make sure they only hire union workers, too.

Per OPM statistics, it looks like the federal workforce already represents the national racial distribution accurately. But that’s not good enough! No, we have to have more racial minorities in federal jobs than in the general population. (shaking my head) So much for my hope of getting a federal job.

That’s worked really well for the presidency! Funny that the United States was a sanctuary for the world and now it’s quickly becoming something to escape from!

This is what you call a “jobs for minorities” program. Just one of the many services that will be brought to you by your new Department of Jobs.

I wonder if they intend to do anything about the ideological makeup? 99.9% of Federal employees are entitlement socialists

“the federal workforce was 66.2 percent white, 17.7 percent black, 8 percent Hispanic, 5.6 percent Asian/Pacific Islander, 1.8 percent Native American.”

This looks close to what America looks like, what’s the problem?

Offensive racism.

How many of you think that in this day and age, the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is failing to hire or retain minorities, women, etc.?

Is there any reason on Earth to think the Federal Government discriminates against its workers? Is it known for being a white male racist clique? Keep spending money liberals on problems that don’t exist.

They need to reverse those Hispanic and Black numbers to be more in line with U.S. demographics.

The problem is, blacks are over represented and hispanics are under represented.

Obama is all geared up to let the USPS, the largest employer of African Americans in the country, go bust ~ and that’s because of the $100,000,000,000 borrowed from them to loan to his international banker buddies.
