Hispanic/Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic minority and the second largest ethnic minority in the United States. The Hispanic/Latino groups mostly live in one of nine states in the United States; as of 1996, controlled 75 percent of the electoral votes (Danelle, 1996). There are four groups of people that are known as Latinos and Hispanics and are from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and other Latin American Origins (Danelle, 1996).
“The Latino population is a good example of a group that experiences different levels of well-being.”, (University of Phoenix, 1995-2012, para. 1). There have been quite a number of examples of the different levels of well-being amongst the different races and research shows where there are different cities in the United States that are almost all of the Hispanic/Latino race. There are examples in Brooklyn, New York and Little Havana, a Cuban neighborhood in Miami, Florida that show that in both states, the percentage of employed to unemployed is relatively the same, but that there are more employed in Florida vs. New York (University of Phoenix, 1955-2012). When talking about the comparison between the “White Median Income” (University of Phoenix, 2012, para. 3), the difference in the Hispanic income and the African American income is $5000 to $10,000 less going to the Hispanic population (University of Phoenix, 2012).
