Latino Education and Economic Progress: Running Faster but Still Behind. Executive Summary
Carnevale, Anthony P.; Fasules, Megan L.
Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce
This executive summary highlights findings presented in the full report, "Latino Education and Economic Progress: Running Faster but Still Behind." The report reveals that Latinos have a long way to go in achieving educational and economic equality. Latinos' rates of high school graduation are improving, but they are still last compared to Blacks and Whites. As a result of their low high school graduation rate, Latinos are also last in postsecondary enrollment. However, Latinos' postsecondary enrollment is growing faster than White enrollment. Latinos initially enrolling in postsecondary certificate programs exceed both Blacks and Whites in their completion of certificates but have the lowest overall educational attainment. Due to their low educational attainment, Latinos have the lowest earnings. However, Latinos with at least some postsecondary education earn more than Blacks, on average.
