NJ: Obama Team More Diverse Than Bush Admin
A National Journal analysis of the demographic characteristics of 366 top Obama administration officials shows that the president has assembled a team that has a higher percentage of women, African-Americans, and Hispanics than the staff of George W. Bush. A closer look at these power players can be found in the magazine's annual Decision Makers edition, out this week.
Here's some of the skinny on Team Obama:
Fifty-two percent of the top Obama officials are white males, compared with 59 percent at the start of the Bush administration and 60 percent at the start of Bush's second term. Women account for 34 percent of Obama's top officials, compared with 26 percent at the start of Bush's first term. Racial minorities account for 25 percent of Obama's top officials, compared with 20 percent at the beginning of the Bush administration.
