Calculating a Response:
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the year for which the data will be measured for workforce participants:
- Employee End Date ≥ July 1 or null, or when the most recent fiscal year for your organization begins
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of workforce participants:
- Pull all unique workforce participants which is determined by using a unique Person Identifier where Person Identification System = State
- Where Role = Employee
From the universe of workforce participants, identify which workforce participants fall into each race category and ethnicity using the following CEDS elements:
- Race and Ethnicity =
a. American Indian or Alaska Native,
b. Asian,
c. Black or African American,
d. Demographic Race Two or More Races,
e. Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity,
f. Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander,
g. Race and Ethnicity Unknown, or
h. White
To get the Employee composition by race and ethnicity percentage, follow the following calculation instructions:
- Identify all workforce participants employed during the reporting year.
- Divide the count of employees in each race and ethnicity group, by the total number of employed workforce participants.
- Multiply by 100.
