Workforce Language Services

The fed’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently met to discuss the dearth of Latinos employed by the federal government.  Noticeably absent?  The Office of Personnel Management!  Due to infighting between these two departments and red tape, the federal government hasn’t been able to truly address the fact that Hispanics are underrepresented in the workplace.

This Washington Post article describes the difficulties in getting all the parties to the same table, but the best quote comes a VP of policy:

“The federal government must do more than simply attempt to eliminate overt discrimination if it is to significantly increase the representation of Hispanics in the federal government,” it said. “To achieve the goal of a workforce representative of all segments of society, therefore, federal agencies must pay special attention to all of the barriers to Hispanic employment.”
