By: FEDweek StaffThe representation of Asian Americans in the federal workforce “has remained relatively consistent” in recent years at a rate higher than in the overall U.S. workforce, although they remain under-represented in higher management levels, the EEOC has said.
In the latest in a series of statistical reports on the demographics of the federal workforce, the EEOC said that Asian Americans (its term) as of 2020:
- accounted for 7.1 percent of the federal workforce, compared to 5.7 percent of the “civilian labor force.
- voluntarily separated due to retirement or resignation at lower rates than the overall federal workforce—3.1 percent for men and 2.5 percent for women, compared with 8 percent overall.
- were involuntarily separated due to downsizing or removal at lower rates—2.5 percent for men and 1.9 percent for women, compared with 3.7 percent overall.
- earned a median annual salary of $107,221, about 19 percent more than the governmentwide median of $90,097.
Regarding leadership roles, the report said that governmentwide, 18.1 percent of federal employees are supervisors, managers, or executives, with men accounting for 60 percent.
Asian American men accounted for 3.8 percent of the federal workforce but only 3.3 percent of Federal leaders; Asian American women accounted for 3.2 percent of the workforce but only 2.3 percent of leaders.
