Dealing With Diversity - The Critical Role Of The Hispanic Workforce In Urban America -- THE WAY OUT, an e-Doc

"The face of the American worker will change more rapidly over the next 30 years than the face of the population as whole because, as the huge generation of baby boomers retires, the incoming workforce that replaces them will be far more diverse...." That's how Beverly Goldberg opens this absorbing e-Document, one packed with statistics that details the enormous importance of the Hispanic workforce in the future of the economy. Goldberg notes that the situation is both an opportunity and a challenge. "What can be done to address the problem of helping Hispanics obtain the training and skills they need to succeed and ensure we have a representative workforce?" She then offers a number of ways that businesses and other organizations can mobilize to help promote a more integrated and effective workforce. And she stresses that this is not just a business problem, as the new population mix affects schools and government as well. In sum, Goldberg believes that adequately addressing the special needs of the Hispanic portion of the U.S. work population is essential for the future success of the nation as a whole. Goldberg is the co-author of Corporation On A Tightrope: Balancing Leadership, Governance, and Technology In An Age Of Complexity. This e-Doc is published by BrownHerron Publishing, with permission.
