30% of Hispanic students graduated from high school, and less than 4% earned
advanced college degrees.

Hispanic females under the age of 18 live below the poverty level.
5. In a study
conducted by Rutgers University, 22% of Hispanic/Latino workers reported
experiencing workplace discrimination, compared to only 6% of whites.
6. Working in discriminatory conditions
often leads to depression, lack of self-confidence, bitterness, and withdrawal
from work.
7. Hispanic females earn roughly 54 cents
for every dollar earned by a white, non-Hispanic male, which accounts for a
loss of almost $24,000 in a year’s time.

Hispanics’ experience with discrimination
or being treated unfairly varies greatly by age. Among Hispanics ages 18 to 29,
65% say they have experienced discrimination or unfair treatment because of
their race or ethnicity. By comparison, only 35% of Hispanics 50 and older say
the same – which is a 30-percentage-point gap.
In addition, Hispanics born in the U.S.
(62%) are more likely than immigrants (41%) to say they have experienced
discrimination or unfair treatment. There are also differences by race. For
example, 56% of nonwhite Hispanics say this has happened at some point in their
lives, a higher share than that among white Hispanics (41%).

Although its pranks and people helped the
mother and daughter, they are doing this because that’s the issue which is
happening right now.
What do you think of Hispanic American
getting discriminated because of….
I am wondering if any of the discrimination
that is claimed is job based? One reason is that a lot of blacks and Latino’s
don’t have very much job training since most of the decent paying jobs is using
a computer. I know I read an article last year or so about the high dropout
rates in the high schools in the LA area. The fact that high school dropout
rates are high for both blacks and Latinos worse for the illegal immigrants
that drop out because they either can’t learn English or refuse too. A person
must have the ability to converse with your boss or be able to take orders from
your boss if you want to work for that person.
