Hispanic Population and Societal Integration

The Hispanic population has emerged as the largest ethnic/racial minority in the United States, and has also become a major political constituency. Consequently, it is important to gauge the extent to which they have been integrated into various societal institutions.

Focus on the US Labor Market

One important institution is the US labor market. The research contained in the present volume assesses a number of issues about how well Hispanics are integrated into the US labor market, a major factor in the group's economic status.

Contributions and Uses of the Research

The research makes important contributions to the existing body of research on the Hispanic population, and may be used by scholars and policy makers in better understanding the status of this important ethnic/racial group.
