The labor force hasn’t always been fair for certain ethnic groups. Whites have always been stereotyped as the “dominant” race over the years. Many different minorities were encouraged to migrate to the United States to work. A minority is a group of people who are discriminated against in a community because of race, religion, or language. There are complaints about fairness at work, the payment minorities receive, welfare, etc. Klein, the co-chair of the Kapor Center for Social Impact, states that managers who are white, will react with more stubbornness towards people of color who ask to debate over a starting salary or a raise (Guynn).

Samuel E. Ehrenhalt, the commissioner for the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the region of New York, predicts that at the end of the decade, minorities will make up the majority of New York’s workforce. As of now, the employment rate for 2015 is 5.1 percent. It has dropped since 2012, where it was 8 percent. Whites seem to have the smallest unemployment rate at 4.4 percent, with blacks at the unemployment rate of 9.2 percent, asians at 6.2 percent, and hispanics at 6.4 percent. Since the recession in 2007, the unemployment rate for the United States has increased dramatically (Logan). In June 2012, colored people made up of 36 percent of the work force. It is estimated that between 1980 to 2020 the minorities working will double in amount. Due to immigration, hispanics and asians are known to be fastest growing minority in the labor force, according to the U.S Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. At almost every education level, whites and asians are predicted to most likely be employed, rather than African Americans and hispanics.

It is estimated that by 2020, hispanics will make up at least 19 percent of the U.S. labor force. Roughly about one out of six hispanics, who are employed and are 25 and over, have completed a bachelor’s degree (Thompson). Hispanics seem to have a lot of hard labor demanding jobs, for example, working on farms. However, some hispanics are considered illegal immigrants. Many have came across the United States border searching for jobs. If they are not considered a legal, U.S. citizen, they could possibly be deported back to Mexico. For certain jobs, you are required to have special skills and requirements. Research suggests that hispanics earn $16,000 less than a fellow coworker who is not hispanic (Guynn). It could be very complicated for a hispanic who is not a legal U.S. citizen to find a suitable
