Factor 7: Enrollment in training institutions which teach requisite skills; data furnished by a variety of colleges and universities contacted by the City. Factor 8: Training the City provides in requisite skills (none available) or applicant flow data (tallied from application information). Data for each relevant factor was collected for each job group. Raw factor data was then weighted to arrive at final availability percentages for each sex and race/ethnic group by job group. Weights for each factor were determined by taking into account the relevancy of each factor to the City's recruitment areas and the validity of the data itself as well as its ability to represent the skills required for the job classifications in the group. A final 8-Factor Availability Analysis report was produced for each of the thirteen job groups. Appendix B presents an example of an 8-Factor Availability Analysis report for a sample job group. 5. Identify Underutilization Once final availability figures were identified for each job group, the City identified the percentage of people by sex and race/ethnic group working in each job group as of April 28, 1987. The two sets of data were compared to identify underutilization. LHM/kh(kaffirm) 9/87
