The City of Jacksonville declares that a diverse public workforce representative of our community is desirable and can be achieved through equal opportunity, equal access and aggressive recruiting.

It is the policy of the City of Jacksonville to ensure that personnel shall be employed, compensated, promoted, transferred and disciplined without regard to race, color, religion, political affiliation, gender, national origin, disability, age, marital status or any other impermissible factor prohibited by law.
