This article introduces a new measure of bureaucratic representation that provides a more complete view of a demographic group‘s potential to be effectively represented by its members in a bureaucracy. It does so by combining information about a group’s overall presence in the bureaucracy (penetration) with information that reflects its distribution over the hierarchy (stratification). Specifically, we focus on how groups are distributed in the regular (i.e., career) bureaucratic hierarchies of American state governments. By comparing our measure to the most frequently used measure of representation (the penetrationratio), we demonstrate that it successfully captures both presence and stratification information, and thereby it offers an improved tool for analyzing representation in bureaucratic hierarchies
