Transparency In Employment and Contracting
The NAACP is leading efforts to ensure transparency and fairness with respect to employment and contracting in the public and private sector. From our corporate scorecard to our work with the federal government and other public entities, the NAACP will ensure transparency and elevate the business model of diversity in public and private employment throughout the nation. Below is a summary of our key programmatic efforts.
Transparency in Public Employment
Less than 30% of publically-funded jobs are posted at public employment service centers, leaving the vast majority of publically-funded jobs inaccessible to the public, even though their tax dollars make these jobs possible. This negatively impacts all American workers who have not developed strong social or professional networks to advance their careers. Increasing transparency will lead to better employment outcomes for all Americans.

Corporate Diversity Scorecard
The NAACP Report Cards on Corporate Fairness and Diversity will measure performance in racial diversity and fairness across industries that are the fastest growing in the United States, by occupation and revenue growth. These industries have the greatest potential to influence job creation and advancement and wealth building in African American communities, and other communities of color. The top five corporations in three growing industries will be the subject this diversity analysis. In 2010, the NAACP will be analyzing the lodging industry. Please monitor this site for more information.
Hollywood Diversity
To complement the NAACP Out of Focus, Out of Sync report, the NAACP performed semi-structured interviews with creative talent and network executives about diversity in the pilot process-a key decision point for the inclusion of diverse creative and executive talent in Hollywood. This project provided both creative talents and network executives the opportunity to discuss how implicit associations may impact employment opportunities for people of color in the Hollywood television industry.
