Hispanics are the largest minority, Asians are the most affluent, and blacks are making big gains in education and earnings. New to this edition of Racial and Ethnic Diversity is a chapter on attitudes by race and Hispanic origin that is based on data from the recently released 2008 General Social Survey. You also get, in addition to detailed estimates and projections of the U.S. population by race and Hispanic origin, the latest socioeconomic data on blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and American Indians. Also included are data the spending of Asian, black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white households, plus the latest wealth data from the Survey of Consumer Finances. Unpublished data from the American Time Use Survey, broken out by race and Hispanic origin, reveal how each group, including Asians and American Indians, prioritize the average day. New population projections to 2025 are in this volume, as well as tables on college enrollment, retirement plan participation, and the use of alternative medicine. Racial and Ethnic Diversity is designed for easy use. It is divided into five sections devoted to the major racial and ethnic groups: American Indians, Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, and Non-Hispanic Whites. A sixth section provides comparative information for the Total Population. Also included is a seventh section on attitudes by race and Hispanic origin. Within chapters, where data are available, identically structured tables appear for each racial group. Racial and Ethnic Diversity gives you the opportunity to discover the many ways Americans are the same-and different. With such knowledge, you will be closer to understanding where the future will take us.American consumer series.EthnologyUnited StatesStatisticsUnited StatesPopulationStatisticsEthnology327.47New Strategist Publications, Inc.MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK996339110603316Racial and ethnic diversity1929397UNISA
