This statistical guide-replete with extensive demographics on Latino life in the United States-interprets the hard numbers and places them into historical and contemporary context, offering readers an accurate, multidimensional view of Latino life.
Projections indicate that in less than 25 years, more than one in every five individuals living in the United States will be Latino. By 2050, that number will likely grow to almost one in three. How will this ongoing change in the ethnic makeup of the nation affect American culture and society, economics, education, politics, and employment? Latinos by the Numbers informs readers about the state of Latino life in the United States today by looking at a variety of socioeconomic indicators.
By examining a breadth of socioeconomic topics and providing necessary background and contextual information, the book gives readers a multidimensional view of Latino life, covering topics such as education, health, immigration and migration, family and community, and jobs and the economy, for example. Of additional value to high school and lower undergraduate students, the book demonstrates how scholars approach data analysis in order to draw logical conclusions. As a result, readers will build on their abilities to interpret and think critically about data and other forms of information-a critical 21st-century skill that is heavily emphasized in today's classrooms, yet is rarely emphasized in reference books.
