Salary Survey Trends 2010–2011 · 9 Minority professional staff in US ARL university libraries continues to be disproportionately distributed across the country. Using Figure 2, we can compare the number of minority staff with other staff, region by region. These patterns of distribution have been relatively stable for the entire history of ARL’s data-collection experience. Minorities are underrepresented by over 34% in the East South Central region and by more than 28% in the West North Central region (see Table 25 for a definition of the regions). Proportionately to other regions, there are more minorities in the Pacific, South Atlantic, West South Central, and Middle Atlantic regions.
