2000 Census
The Hispanic population is 35.3 million, up 60%
since 1990.
The Asian population grew 48% since 1990.
There are more women than men holding jobs in the
entire 18 -to-34-age category. While men now
dominate in several of the higher-paying categories
among the older group, black women are more numerous
in the managerial, professional and technical
occupations in both age groups. This bodes well for
women sharing in the growth of the services sector
and the professions. However, their numerical
occupational advantage over black men has
significant implications for the black community as
a whole, including a possible negative alteration of
mate-selection and marriage patterns, and the
possibility that some black men may come to shun
management and professional occupations as "women's
work." [NAACP]
