Meanwhile, EEOC has issued a report showing that the percentage of the federal workforce with "targeted" disabilities has fallen despite a series of presidential directives and other initiatives designed to make the government a model employer of persons with certain disabilities. "Targeted" disabilities include conditions such as blindness, deafness, partial paralysis and certain other disorders. Such individuals now make up just under 1 percent of the workforce, compared to about 1.2 percent at the peak in 1993-94. The report cited a lack of coordination in hiring efforts, lack of strategic plans, failure to use special hiring authorities that are available, and other factors.
