In 1985 Boston passed a regulation requiring that contractors hire at
least: 50% of its employees from among residents of Boston, 25% of
people of color, and 10% women. However, this is not happening and
Boston is not adequately enforcing the law, letting contractors get
away with whatever they want.

Here is the actual wording of the ordinance from the city's website:
