Week 3: My Demographics

Hispanic population is one of the big majority to contribute to the American stimulation in mass. Therefor, they make up the second largest ethic group in the United States, much younger, less educated, less wealthy, very large immigrant component, no less then two dozen national origins and of every race. Hispanic actually have a longer life expectancy then Americans. All of this is one huge statistic of Hispanic as well as Asians made a huge change upon our nation in 1960. Which compose one-third of the population nearly one in six Americans are Hispanic or Latino recorded in 2009. A total of 48.4 million  out of 307 million Americans, because of high rates of immigration. As well as high rates of fertility growth shaped by Hispanic or Latino Americans. It is a widely known among Americans that a degree is essential to obtain a stable occupation. Most Americans have a high school diploma, while between 25 % and 75 % continue to a institution of higher education. the U.S Census Bureau stated that, Hispanics are among the least educated ethnic group. In 2000, 530,000 Hispanics and Latinos ages 16–19 years were a high school dropouts, creating a dropout rate of 21.1 % for Hispanics and Latinos. 11 % of Hispanics or Latinos have earned a bachelor's degree or higher, compared with 17 % of non-Hispanic African Americans, 30 % of non-Hispanic Caucasian, and 49 % of Asian Americans. Often, Hispanic and Latino young generation begin education without the necessary economic or social resources that other American children have. One cause may be, them being the children of immigrant parents with low or little socioeconomic status. With language barriers that result in a lack of knowledge for the U.S. education system. Unfavorable, conditions frequently give away to others, such as weak parent-teacher relationships and communication.
