2 Plan Description In accordance with federal guidelines,the Affirmative Action Plan includes a Narrative Statement and Utilization Analysis. Among other things, the narrative portion of the updated plan sets out the County's equal employment opportunity policy and commitment; assigns specific responsibilities for equal employment opportunity; reviews current affirmative action programs; and describes the process for communicating the County's Equal Employment Opportunity program and Affirmative Action Plan both internally and externally. The utilization analysis portion includes a review of the County's utilization of women and minorities in its workforce in relation to the availability of women and minorities in the recruitment area labor force- overall (Attachment 1) and by the eight federal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) occupational categories(Attachments 2 and 3). Orange County Work Force The utilization analysis of the Orange County work force continues to indicate positive results. The county's overall utilization of women and minorities is greater than the availability in the recruitment area labor force(Attachment 1). Specifically: • 29.7 percent of permanent Orange County employees are minorities as compared to 24.8 percent availability in the recruitment area and • 59.8 percent of permanent Orange County employees are women as compared to 48.3 percent availability in the recruitment area. The analysis by EEO category indicates the County has a particularly strong minority and female representation(Attachments 2 and 3) in the categories of Officials and Administrators, Professionals and Technicians. The analysis by EEO category indicates underutilization of minorities (Attachment 2)in relation to the availability in the recruitment area labor force in the categories of Protective Services and Paraprofessionals and underutilization of women(Attachment 3) in the categories of Protective Services, Skilled Craft and Service/Maintenance.
