FBI struggles to boost minority agents amid hiring freeze
Washington AP reports a two year minority recruitment push added 19 black FBI agents, raising Black representation to just over one percent of 8,500. Nationwide minorities total 20 percent of federal workers and 13 percent of Justice professional roles.

Wayne Davis leads equal employment efforts, citing image issues and planned targeted advertising to attract minority applicants.
