Considering that HispanicAmericans will soon account for 15 percent of the U.S. population and onethird of the Nations labor force we must also direct our attention to issues of concern to this community. Poverty is widespread in the HispanicAmerican population. touching one in every four families. With respect to education. only half of all HispanicAmericans hold high school diplomas. and less than 10 percent have graduated from college. Racerelated problems are also confronted by HispanicAmericans on a daily basis. who unjustly receive much of the criticism and frustration directed at illegal immigrants. We need to foster greater understanding among Americans of the benefits Hispanic cultures have had on the United States. Everything from tapas to the tango highlights how Hispanic culture has influenced our daily lives.
