Executive order EO11246 was issued by then-President Lyndon Johnson in 1965 which forbids any organization from receiving federal money if they practice discrimination; and

this executive order is to be enforced through the Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) and that this office has been committed to ensuring that Government contractors comply with the equal employment opportunity provisions of their contracts; and

equal employment opportunity at the workplace is part and parcel within the purview of EO11246; and

EO11246 has been successfully enacted by past Presidents to improve the workplace management promotional opportunities of some recognized U.S. national disadvantaged groups and that these groups have included African Americans, Hispanics, and Women, but such applications have not been implemented for the most part for Asian Pacific Americans; and

according to the following published government data sources of working Americans in the three major sectors of the workplace including the Federal Government, universities, and the private sectors:

Asian Americans have only between a 35 to 50% chance of workplace management promotion opportunity compared to the national norm; and

according to these same published surveys, African Americans, Hispanics, and Women have by contrast at least a 70% chance of management promotional opportunities; and

the methodology use to obtain the aforementioned information is consistent with survey methods and calculations used by the Gallup Poll and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC); and

and in addition, Asian Americans have by far the highest educational attainment compared to all groups in the U.S. including Whites, Hispanics, Women, and African Americans. These educational attainments include Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees, which for Asian Americans are between 170 to 250% of the national norm; and

these high educational achievements have come about for the most part from deep sacrifices by Asian American parents and sheer diligence and merits by Asian American children and students; and

and furthermore, Asian Americans have throughout our history made great contributions to America’s heritage, social fabrics and prosperity, and have greatly enriched all aspects of the American way of life in ways including the arts, sciences, technology, engineering, education, business, medicine, law, military services, public services, private industries and non-profits etc.; and

in spite of their high educational attainment and great contributions to our nation, Asian Americans by all acceptable accounts, standards and criteria have by far the lowest workplace glass ceiling in America; and

this unfair situation is totally unacceptable and should never be happening in this great nation of equal opportunities, and that this grievous waste of talent constitutes not only a serious injustice to the Asian American community but also a tremendous loss to our nation’s well-being.
