VIII. Analysis of the Orange County Work Force and the Utilization of Minorities and Women A. 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. The utilization analysis in this plan consists of three elements: -A work force analysis of the County' s permanent employees as of November 1, 1992, -An availability analysis for the recruitment area labor force based on the 1990 U.S. Census data -Findings; that is, identification of areas of underutilization of minorities and women in the Orange County work force in relation to the recruitment area labor force. B. Orange County Work Force Analysis The work force analysis reviews the County' s permanent employment both overall and by the eight federal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) occupational categories . These categories are Officials and Administrators; Professionals; Technicians; Protective Service Workers; Paraprofessionals; Office and Clerical; Skilled Craft Workers; and Service and Maintenance.
