Upward mobility: the increasing number of Hispanics moving into management positions signifies an important trend
Article Abstract:
The changes in the number of Hispanic Americans in universities and managerial specialty occupations are attributable to community's 62% high school graduation rate, as of 1997, and the 1.1 million students in college as of 1995. Unfortunately, the high school dropout rate remains high at 28%. Another fact of considerable concern is the low number Hispanic executives, 366, at the VP or higher level at 144 of the Fortune 1000 companies.
