This Indicator measures the percent by race/ethnicity of Prime contractors for construction and professional services contracts who received under $100,000. Additional data is provided on the average amount received by these contractors. Data is from fiscal year 2015-16 and the date used to assign contracts to a fiscal year is the date that the compliance analysis was completed, or the review date. The dollar amounts represent the initial award; any negotiated bid amounts or change orders are not taken into account. The initial award is adjusted to how much of the total contract went to the Prime as opposed to Subprime contractors.

This Indicator measures the percent of the unemployed population (ages 16 and up) in Oakland by race/ethnicity who did not participate in the City of Oakland’s Workforce Development program between 7/1/2016 and 6/30/2017. The percent that did participate for each race/ethnicity is calculated by dividing number of participants of that race/ethnicity by the number of unemployed people in the labor force in Oakland of that race/ethnicity. Percent that did not participate is 100% minus the percent that did participate. NOTE: Participation is not the most meaningful metric, but was the data available. In the future, we hope to replace this with a measurement of exit outcomes for participants by race/ethnicity (i.e., did participants successfully find jobs?).
