Why is it important?
It examines trends in employment and compensation of Asian Americans relative to non-minorities and question whether Asians face a “glass ceiling” that keeps them out of the top levels of the federal bureaucracy, perhaps by channeling them into professional occupations and away from supervisory authority.
