A larger share of our Nation is minority. and the numbers are growing. In a 1987 report titled. "Workforce 2000." the Department of Labor estimates that nonwhites will make up almost onethird of the new entrants into the labor force between now and the year 2000. twice their current share of the work force. The Department notes that: "Although this large share of a more slowly growing work force might be expected to improve the opportunities for these workers. the concentration of blacks in declining central cities and slowing growing occupations makes this sanguine outlook doubtful." By the last quarter of the 21st century. as a result of immigration and differing birth rates. Mr. Speaker. it is estimated that minorities. in fact. will be the majority.
