Resign For Equality!

Strike a blow for the oppressed and quit your jobs!:

While not everyone is equally represented, most are. In fact, women, Francophones and the LGBTQ+ community are all overrepresented throughout the public service compared to their share of the workforce.

Women make up 48.3% of the total workforce but 58.8% of the OPS and 51.1% of the top executive positions. The groups most underrepresented are East/Southeast Asians who make up 9.9% of the Ontario’s total workforce but just 8.1% of the public service and 3.5% of top executive positions as well as South Asians who make up 8.4% of the total workforce compared to 7.8% of the public service and 5.2% of the executive ranks.

Indigenous Ontarians make up 2.5% of the provinces workforce and have similar representation throughout the public service, even taking 3.3% of jobs at the top. Black Ontarians meanwhile make up 4.5% of the workforce and are fairly equitably represented in most areas but fall to 2.9% of the top executive positions.

White workers make up 74.2% of the Ontario workforce, a similar number to lower ranks of the OPS, but White workers make up 80.4% of the top executive positions.

The numbers don’t show a racist public service or a “White supremacist” organization, but we all know numbers don’t tell the whole story. That the civil service, all 63,000 members, could be such an organization stretches belief though.

 

A body of useless mouth-breathers who have nothing of any real value to add to society as a whole must be a diverse band of chair-moisteners!
