General In setting goals and timetables as part of an Affirmative Action Plan, information is compiled to determine the status of minorities and women within the Orange County local government work force. This information then is compared to the availability of women and minorities within the recruitment area labor force. This process is called a "utilization analysis." Orange County completes a utilization analysis annually to identify areas within the work force where minorities and women are underutilized in relation to their availability in the recruitment area labor force. In those instances where minorities and females are underutilized, annual affirmative action placement goals are established. -15-
