Rhode Island Affirmative Action Data

Rhode Island Affirmative Action Data
2000 Census of Population & Housing Summary

The Equal Employment Opportunity tables in this report were prepared using the 2000 US Census of Population and Housing Equal Employment Opportunity file, which is available on the Census web site. The Labor Market Information Unit of the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training has the responsibility for formatting the data to meet the US Census labor force data requirements for an Affirmative Action Plan. Labor force data reflect only the civilian population (military is excluded) 16 years of age and above as of April 1, 2000.

Occupations are based on the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system, which includes 23 major groups and 821 detailed occupations. This classification system categorizes occupations according to the nature of the work performed and relates these occupations to others of a similar nature. Because the military is not included, twenty-two major SOC groups and 801 detailed occupations are presented in this report. The SOC provides a mechanism for cross-referencing and aggregating occupation-related data collected by social and economic statistical reporting programs. The Census Bureau has adapted the SOC to create the occupational categories used in Census 2000 and in the Census 2000 Special EEO file.
