Embracing and Harnessing Diversity in the US Workforce: What Have We Learned?
Pope, Mark
International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance, v12 n1 p17-30 Mar 2012
Cultural diversity in the US includes race, ethnicity, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion, and other aspects of culture. American ethnic and racial minorities currently account for 31% of the US population, and growing. Their career development issues include the barriers they regularly encounter, such as discrimination; inequitable access to resources; and language, religious, and cultural differences. Career counselors and vocational psychologists in the US have been actively studying these issues for many years and have some successes to report.
