Appointments to the Public Service by Employment Equity Designated Group for 2014-2015 – Statistical Update
Introduction
Statistical tables
As illustrated in Table 1 below, in 2014-2015, three of the four designated groups were appointed to the public service at a rate exceeding that of their respective workforce availability. The exception is for persons with disabilities, who were appointed at a lower rate (3.5%) than that of their workforce availability (4.4%). This continues a trend that has been observed since 2012-2013. In 2014-2015, three of the four designated groups accounted for higher percentages of appointments to the public service than in 2013-2014. The exception is for the percentage of appointments of Aboriginal peoples, which was down to 3.8% in 2014-2015, from 4.6% in 2013-2014. For reference, Table 2 below presents the percentage of applicants by EE designated group, as reported in the PSC’s Annual Report.

These include appointments as a result of both external advertised and non-advertised processes. They exclude appointments to separate agencies. Due to a change in methodology, figures published in fiscal years prior to 2012-2013 are not comparable. (c) The figures for women are extracted from PSC hiring and staffing activities files. These include appointments as a result of both advertised and non-advertised processes. They exclude appointments to separate agencies. |
