| Description: |
For many years, the most fervent arguments for racial/ethnic equality have been crafted on ethical grounds –
it is just the right thing to do. But increasingly our ability to reduce the racial/ethnic gaps between White
non-Hispanics and minorities does not just serve the interests of social justice; it is also crucial to economic
well-being in the West. The following questions are addressed in this the report:
*What are the current education gaps between minorities and White non-Hispanics?
*How well do we prepare certain minorities for high-skill, high-wage jobs?
*What is their status in the workforce as a result?
*Has their status in the workforce improved for recent generations?
*What would be the impact if we improved our ability to educate these disadvantaged populations?
