A Plan Methodology <br /> The plan analyzes Orange County's utilization of minorities and women in its work <br /> force as of November 1, 1994. The plan then compares the County's utilization of <br /> minorities and women in its work force to the availability of minorities and women in <br /> the recruitment area labor force based on 1990 census data. <br /> The comparison of Orange County's utilization of minorities and women in the work <br /> force in relation to the availability of minorities and women in the recruitment area <br /> labor force was used to identify areas of underutilization. Turnover and recruitment <br /> experience then was considered in developing tentative affirmative action placement <br /> goals. Affected Orange County department heads reviewed these tentative goals and <br /> gave feedback on projected openings. This feedback is reflected in the final <br /> affirmative action placement goals and timetables. <br /> II. Policy Statements <br /> A.
