It shows in the case that there are more white people that are in upper positions verses other minorities. 4/5 Ratio Data for Whites and Blacks, Minorities According to what I have went over there is a disparate impact, because there are more whites for the upper positions and more minorities for the lower positions. Here is what I seen according to the report for each job positions: * Shift leader-External-whites 21.00% , Non-white-22.00%, African American-23.00% which equals 1.05% and 1.01% African American * Department Manager-External whites-17.00%, non-white-9.72%, African American-12.00% and which equals 1.74% and 1.42% (black) Internal-whites-34.00%, non-white-26.00%, and African American-20.00% which equals 1.31% and 1.70% African American. * Assistant
Simple: A cultural and marketing phenomenon known as the U.S. Latino market." - Bromely Aguilar Associates, media kit, 1999 Over 35 million Latinos live in the United States alone. Every minute, the U.S. Latino population grows by 2.5 people. From a marketing perspective, that is another 150 potential customers arriving every single hour or 3,600 per day.

This is a program that not all employers offer, therefore if your company does, I highly suggest that you take them up on it.
As of 2010, with the total population of the United States at 310.2 million individuals, White Non-Hispanic Americans are 64.7 percent of the United States population. While the second largest racial group in America is Hispanics with 16 percent of the population. According to the trends, the population is estimated to be at about 439 million in the year 2050. That's quite a rise in the population in the next 40 years (129 million) and who knows the impact it will have on our economy and job availability. It is also estimated that White Non-Hispanic Americans will be less than half the population at this point with 46.3 percent of the population being that race.
Create a diversity council that is representative of a diagonal cross section of employees to get a range of views and attitudes. Include staff who represent the resistors, those who are skeptical of anything called diversity. They can become the most powerful allies if they have buy-in. As informal opinion leaders, when they see diversity in a new light, they can influence others who have been resistant. They can also give critical input in planning future diversity interventions.
With the Affirmative Action program there was a dramatic increase in college attendance among blacks, yet there was still an astounding amount of unemployed blacks. In 1975, the overall black unemployment rate was 1.8 times higher than the white unemployment. Affirmative Action not only helps blacks it also helped women. In 1977 the percentage of full time female faculty was 10.6 percent, and it had grown to 21.7 percent by 1987. The present percentage of law school appointments that are women has reached 40
In the article “Diversity in Police Departments”, the data reveals the current situation, “In terms of race and ethnicity, 22.7% of all full-time local officers in 2000 were minorities. This represented an increase of about 61%, or 38000 officers, from the 1990 levels. African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, and other ethnic groups accounted for 11.7%, 8.3%, and 2.7%, respectively, of all local police officers in 2000. In terms of numbers, the number of Hispanic or Latino officers represented an increase of 17600 officers from the 1990 level, while that of African American officers represented an increase of 13300.” The author quoted MacDonald (2003) “The growing challenge for police in multiethnic, liberal, democratic societies is to find the correct balance among the public goods at stake. They must enforce the law but also maintain racial and ethnic peace.
Love mentions the 16th surgeon general of the United States, Dr. David Satcher, who proves, in the year 2000, due to inequality in health care, 85,000 African-Americans died. White Americans have higher life expectancies than African-Americans “by six or seven years” (378). Instead of wasting money on something that does not cause a change of the situation in the first place, the government should put more money in these inequalities to help eliminate poverty in the inner-city, which are heavily populated with minorities such as African Americans In 1954 a test study was shown in Brown v. Board of Education case to show the psychological effects of segregation on black children by using a black doll and white doll. Researchers tested black children in Harlem from ages 4 and 5 years old. When the children were asked choose a doll, a majority of the children chose the white doll.
“Although African-Americans, Hispanics, and American Indians make up nearly 25% of the United States population, only 9% of nurses belong to these ethnic groups,”(Mee). “The Council on Physician and Nurse Supply (March, 2008) determined that 3000 additional nurses must be graduated annually to meet the nation's health care needs, an expansion of 30 percent over the current number of annual nurse graduates. According to projections from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (November, 2007) more than one million new and replacement nurses will be needed
