Latin Citizens: Outline

Do the current and future socioeconomic statuses affect the educational course taken by Latin citizens?

2. Outline:

1. 1. Introduction: According to the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau population estimate, there are roughly 50.5 million Hispanics representing about 16 percent of the U.S. population (Cardenas & Kerby, 2012). By 2050 our nation will be more diverse as the Hispanic population may double up to 30 percent. Latin Americans now and then will have shaped this nation both socioeconomically and educationally.
  2. Historic data: Hispanics are among the least educated group in the United States: 11 percent of those over age 25 have earned a bachelor's degree or higher (Schhneider & Martinez, 2006).
  3. Today’s data: Hispanics had lower levels of educational attainment than other groups. In 2013, 22% of Hispanic adults (25 years and over) had earned an associate degree or higher, compared to Asians (60%), Whites (46%), and African Americans (31%). (Santiago, 2015).
  4. Change over time: Although still one of the lowest of other racial groups; has been a steady increase in Latin students receiving a bachelors degree or higher.
  5. Comparison: There has been a steady increase in education for Latin citizens but the numbers still remain lower than all the other racial groups in the United States. Latin Americans are pushing through and it is estimated that they will increase by a lot by 2021.
  6. Conclusion: Latin citizens have been striving to reach their optimal potential as one of the lowest educated racial groups in the United States. As new generations are coming up, the educational number will rise as well.
