Latino students make up most of the nation's growth in college degrees over past 5 years

I don't want to hear anything about Black and Brown these folks are doing better than Black Americans.

They already have higher economic mobility.

shiiittt

They had some of the lowest college attendance rates so the increase shouldn't come as a surprise.

The well-off 1st gen Latinos either get educated overseas or at the top universities. The 1st gen working class (construction, farm labor etc), don't go but either their kids or grandkids will get the degrees.

Curious about the gender divide. Blacks and whites tend to have noticeably higher female college degree attainment compared to males.

I am ADOS on both sides. I was just shouting out the Latinos. I know how hard it is to be a first gen college student and a minority.

Nothing wrong with that BUT that Black and Brown coalition shyt is BS.


I hope you are not on that wave.

some people in this forum don’t think a college degree is needed, so this shouldn’t bother them.

Yep. We argue on this forum about how college is a scam while others are getting degrees and leaving us behind. Go figure.

But to the current topic, Im happy to see hispanics getting educated and doing well for themselves

Mapping the road to prosperity and parity for Black and Latino residents across America

Black and Latino Americans experience different levels of prosperity and parity depending on where they live. Our interactive mapping explores this inequality.

The pace of progress toward parity varies across different places as well. Looking across the different community profiles, it could take anywhere from 70 to 120 years to close Latino–White gaps on average. But the comparable number for closing Black–White gaps is 120 to 320 years.
