Differences’ between Latino’s

  

Latinos are the fastest growing minority group in the U.S., and represent a diverse variety of ethnic groups with unique heritages. Yet research often analyzes this group combined and misses the fact that there are factors that divide the Latino population between the varieties of Latino groups. In these articles I have read, it talks about how the Latino groups are different from one another by nationality, language, skin complexion, citizenship, and generation.

One of the articles: The Census 2000, it talks about their differences in nationality. The Latino population is asked to identify themselves of their type of origin (nationality). They are given specific categories which they mark to answer the question in the combined Latinos categories. There are a lot of groups to identify, so to make it easier they have a category under other for the Latinos to be as specific.

Nationality is a big difference in the Latino population and in the charts in this article; it shows how different things affect each nationality for example education, occupation, and poverty. In Census 2000 shows that the highest nationalities to have a high school diploma or higher education is the Spaniards with the South Americans compare to the least nationality Mexicans with Central Americans. In figure 11 on pg 13 the chart shows the deferent percentage of nationalities occupation by sex.  Latino men are highest percentage on doing transportation and material moving compare to the 20 percent of the rest of the world. Latino women have the highest percentage in sales in office compare to all women in the world....
