Females make up 50.7 % of the population in 2013. 48.3 % of the population is Latinos and Hispanics, 35.1 % of the population is born outside of the United States, and 56.8 % of the population over 5 years old speaks a language other than English at home. B.1. Population Economic Status Assessment Los Angeles County is a large community with unemployment rate of 9.9%, which is higher that the California rate of 8.9% (County Health Ranking 2015). With 48.3% of the population being Hispanic and Latinos, 35.1 % of the population being born outside of the United States, and 56.8% of the population over 5 year old speaking a language other than English at home, this plays an important factor in education in terms of academic education and also in the education of preventative healthcare practices.

With a degree from these types of colleges a graduate usually will make their way into upper echelon of the United States workforce. However, Asian Americans only hold less than two percent of top corporate jobs. The average income of an Asian American in the year of 2009 was approximately $68,780, which is the highest among all race groups. However, the poverty rate of Asians in 2009 was up to 12.5 percent from 10.6 percent in 2007. Researchers, supported by Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, Pfizer and Time Warner, conducted 2,952 surveys of working-aged men and women and gathered qualitative and quantitative data to conclude that many Asian-Americans, whether immigrant or native born, find it hard to "fit in" the upper management ranks.
When it comes to industrialized societies, Japan sends remarkably few of its convicted criminals to prison. In 2000 Japans imprisonment rate per 100,000 persons was only 32.3. The number of Japanese prisoners present on the last day of 2000 was 39,892 which was less than that in the Federal correctional institutions alone in the United States at 50,403. State prisons add an astonishing 700,000 to the total number. From 1960 through 2000 the Japanese prison rate declined by 35 percent.
Florida alone had 354,000 teen births between 1991 and 2004, costing taxpayers $8.1 billion. On a local level, Orange County, Florida, had 1771 teen births in 2004, costing the county around $36 million (“State of denial:,” n.d.). From a socioeconomic standpoint, teen births in the UNITED STATES are too high to confine the data to one economic group or household makeup. More encouragingly, the teen birth rate for young women between the ages of 15 and 19 decreased by 2% in 2007/2008 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics. Birth rates data for ethnic groups showed a decrease across the boards according to the National Center for Health Statistics (“The national campaign,” 2011).
Also the country is very over crowded, in 2013 the population recorded 10.32 million people. Haiti is about 10,714 sq. miles similar in size to Massachusetts and Hawaii. Together both Massachusetts and Hawaii have a population of 8.165. The unemployment level in Haiti is also very low.
In 2010, the total U.S. Hispanic population was 16 percent of the total U.S. population. By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 30.2 percent of the total U.S. population (U.S. Census Bureau, 2008). Even though the U.S. population continues to grow in diversity; nurses remained a homogenous group. According to Maier-Lorentz (2008), “Approximately 90% of all Registered Nurses are Caucasian. Although Hispanics have become the majority minority in the U.S., it is estimated that there are only 2 % Hispanic Registered Nurses in the nursing profession (Minority Nursing Statistics, 2005)” (p.37).
Per the US Census Bureau single parents consist of “other families” which are households of unmarried couples. Single parents are 56 percent of other families and single mothers are 85 percent of single parents. We expect single parents to grow at a slightly lower-than-average rate of 18 percent between 1990 and 2010, but remain the bulk of all single parents in 2010, at nearly 8 million households. With the growing population of single mothers, there are also becoming a large number of single fathers. Currently 62 percent of single fathers are age 35 and older, compared to 48 percent of single mothers which are quite younger in age.
2) The middle class White family, about 72%, owns their homes, while only about 46% of the middle class Black family owns their homes. 3) Unemployment is for Black people is double then it is for White people. 4) Some companies hire mostly White people. An example is Microsoft. In the 2000, there were 20,000 White people working for Microsoft, and 544 Black people working for Microsoft.
Older adults are among one of the fastest growing populations of the United States; in 1990 one in eight persons was older than the age of 65; by 2030, this ratio will decline to one in five (Wan, Sengupta, Velkoff, & Debarros, 2005). The US Census Bureau estimates that by 2030 the persons aged 65 or older will make up about 20% of the U.S population. The state of California will be experiencing a disproportionate growth in the number of elderly. California is one of the states with the largest number of elderly which was 3 million in 1993 projected by US census bureau and has reached 3.7 million. The United States Census Bureau predicts that in the next twenty years the number of elderly in California will increase from 3.7
