In preparing Federal affirmative employment plans, are numerical objectives for increasing the representation rates of minorities and women the same as quotas?
No. Numerical objectives are not the same as quotas. Quotas are court-enforced numerical requirements which must be met at the end of a specified period. On the other hand, numerical objectives are not absolute requirements. They are devised by management only as targets or goals for increasing the representation rates of minorities and women who are under-represented in a major occupation or occupational category.
