	"Future projections indicate that by 2008, women and people of color will represent approximately 70% of the entry level in the workforce."

• The United States has become increasingly diverse in the last century. Approximately 30 percent of the population currently belongs to a racial or ethnic minority group. Three states are majority-minority (California, New Mexico, and Hawaii), and the District of Columbia is 72% minority. The Census Bureau projects that by the year 2100, non-Hispanic whites will make up only 40 percent of the U.S. population (US Census 2000).
  
  
• In the decade between 1990 and 2000, the Hispanic population increased more than four times faster that of the total US population. Hispanics are currently the largest and fastest growing ethnic minority group in the United States (35 million representing 12.5% of the total population). This growth is expected to continue unabated; by the year 2030, an estimated 113% increase in the Hispanic population is anticipated, which is greater than four times the expected increase in the total population (US Census 2000).
  
  
• From a business perspective, future projections indicate that by 2008, women and people of color will represent approximately 70% of the entry level in the workforce. Additionally, it is projected that between 1990 and 2007, the buying power of Hispanics/Latinos will increase by 315%, Asian-Americans' will increase by 287%, and African-Americans' will increase by 170%. Meanwhile, the buying power of the white market will increase only 112% (Selig Center for Economic Growth, 2002).
