From the report, "Established by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, the Senior Executive Service, or SES, is the executive branch’s corps of senior leaders serving in key positions just below agencies’ top political appointees. Members of the SES, most of whom are career civil servants, oversee significant federal programs and functions, and manage thousands of employees. They serve as a critical bridge between the career workforce and the political appointees who change from administration to administration.
Given their leadership role and the vital part they play in ensuring the federal government achieves its mission, it’s important to understand more about the composition of the SES. We analyzed SES data over the past 25 years, examining the size of the corps, its demographics and trends related to the top occupations and agencies. We found that although the SES has grown as the workforce has grown and has become more diverse over time, it still is not fully representative of the composition of the federal workforce as a whole."
