How do I determine the appropriate Civilian Labor Force (CLF) Data to use on the various Workforce Data Tables? Where do I find the CLF data?
The CLF data is available at: http://www.census.gov/eeo2000. The national CLF, as shown, should be used on Tables A1 and A2; however, no CLF data should be shown for occupational groups on Table A3. For Tables A6 through A8, the appropriate or relevant CLF availability data generally depends on the employer’s area of recruitment. If a job is recruited nationally, then it may be appropriate to use the national CLF for that occupation, particularly if individuals apply form all parts of the country and the location from which they apply is not a factor in the hiring decision. On the other hand, if an agency’s announcement is limited to a particular geographic area (e.g. region, state, county or city) or, although the agency advertised nationally for a low-graded position, the only applications received are from the city or county in which the position is located, then it may be more appropriate to consider the local area CLF. An agency must have a justification for whichever CLF data it
