Race and Employment in America: 2013, First Edition
This Bernan Press first edition contains a convenient selection of information from the Census Bureau’s Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) tabulation. Based on the American Community Survey, the EEO tabulation highlights the diversity of the labor force and serves as the primary external benchmark for comparing the race, ethnicity, and sex composition of an organization's internal workforce, and the analogous external labor market, within a specified geography and job category. Essential for any economic development official, EEO specialist, regional planner, urban researcher, or college student, Race and Employment in America answers questions about the direction of the workforce in America by race and the professions that America’s races are choosing. Occupations are displayed by individual states and metropolitan areas.
Race and Employment in America is one of the most comprehensive printed publications on the civilian labor force by race. Researchers, college students, and data users can easily see the trends of the job market that are affecting the nation today. This edition includes:
Race and Employment in America is a valuable addition for all academic and public libraries.
Race and Employment in America: 2013 is great companion to Employment, Hours, and Earnings, and the Occupational Outlook Handbook available from Bernan Press.

Bernan, long a packager of government statistics, offers two new statistical compilations no longer published by GPO. Patterns of Economic Change by State and Area makes use of census and business statistics to provide yearly statistics, 1958–2012, on income and employment for the nation, regions, states, and metropolitan areas. Additional tables provide GDP for region, state, and area, and median income and poverty by state. Each part begins with explanations that make using the statistics easier for the novice researcher, and include definitions and notes to the tables. Race and Employment in America: 2013, also a new working of government data, is based on Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and American Community Survey data. Information on workers by race, Hispanic origin, occupation, education, and location has been available previously, but notoriously difficult to find and connect. As in Patterns of Economic Change by State and Area, the data are presented for the nation, states, and metropolitan areas, covering the years 2006–2010. An example of a table of current interest is 'Science Engineering and Computer Professionals by Metropolitan Statistical Area, Sex, Race, and Hispanic or Latino Origin 2006–2010.' Color pie charts give clear demonstration of some of the national figures. Appendixes provide notes and definitions, information on EEO occupational groups, and information on metro areas and their components. Both of these works are well produced with clear tables, printed with enough white space to make them visually accessible for most. Each is documented as to the source and coverage of the data. With a reasonable price point, these reference sources are well within budget range for most libraries that need this information.
