Diversity
By the year 2050, nonwhites will represent close to half of
the U.S. population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau
projections.
By 2005, the ethnic minority share of the workforce is
expected to grow to 28 percent, up from 18 percent in
1980 and 22 percent in 1990. Although the African
American population is now the largest minority group, the
Hispanic and Asian populations are growing much faster.
In 1994, the African American population was estimated to
be 33 million, or 12.7 percent of the total population, up
from 11.7 percent in 1980. By 2025, African Americans
are expected to represent 14 percent of the total.
