The Roadmap for Racial Equity: An Imperative for Workforce Development Advocates. Special Edition: Immigrants and English Learners

The ethnic and racial diversity of the residents of the United States of America is one of our country's unique strengths. However, Black, Latinx, Pacific Islander, Native, and certain Asian American workers face wide racial inequities in educational attainment, employment, and income. Immigrants and English learners, the majority of whom are people of color, face similar inequities. This fact sheet features excerpts from "The Roadmap for Racial Equity" report. The policies highlighted here focus on addressing inequities for people of color who are immigrants and English learners. [For "The Roadmap for Racial Equity: An Imperative for Workforce Development Advocates," see ED603236.]
