Representation
of Minorities within Occupations
As shown in Table 5.15, about two-thirds of all Selected Reserve personnel
are in four occupational areas: infantry, administration, electrical/mechanical
equipment repair, and service and supply. The largest percentage of
Blacks and "Others" are in functional support and administration,
while combat occupations are the most prevalent among Whites and Hispanics.
