We've come a long way,
BUT we've got a long long way to go!
BUT we've got a long long way to go!
(A) Where
We Were in 2000-2002, in
private industries, universities &
federal government
The data & methodology used
to construct the graph below was verified by then EEOC Chief
Statistician Ronald Edwards.
(B) 80-20's
Efforts to Raise the Glass Ceiling
(1) Click here to see the full-page ad. 80-20 bought in Washington Post in 2006 to publicize that Asian Ams suffer the lowest glass ceiling, while having the highest academic attainment.
(2) Click here to see how then presidential candidate Obama promised in
writing to 80-20 to help raise the glass ceiling over AsAms. See his
Yes, Yes, Yes answers to the first 3 questions. His Labor Dept. sent a letter to 80-20 promising to "rigorously enforce EO
11246" for AsAms.
(C) We Have Come a Long Way
All three bars for AsAms have
climbed. In private industries, AsAms no longer have the lowest bar.
In universities and federal government, where
there is so much emphasis on political correctness, AsAms still fare the
worst.
(D) We still Have a Long
Long Way to Go
On 7/23/2014, 80-20's Chenming Hu
(a retired chair-professor), Jing-Li Yu (a promising attorney) and I
visited Deputy
Labor Secretary Chris Lu. We reviewed the
above data, discussed the progress and set-backs. We all
concluded that there is a long long way to go for AsAms. We must
continue to push!
There will be a conference call
organized by Dep. Sec. Chris Lu, joined by Rep Grace Meng (NY-6) and Rep.
Judy Chu (CA-27) on the labor force status of AAPI.
Time will be tomorrow, 3:30 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. EDT. The call-in number is: 1-888-995-9166,
passcode is 3174329.
Help an
organization like 80-20. It has served you long & tirelessly. The best
progress is made when it is "One for all, and all for all"
