Shaping Americas FutureThe Coming of Age of
Native-Born Latinos Foretell an American
Revolution

• Hispanic Americans are
• Not just the largest ethnic group in the United
  States-they may well be the most dynamic, vital
  force shaping Americas future.
• Younger than other groups and rapidly gaining
  economic and political clout, U.S. Latinos are a
  vibrant mix of immigrants and families
  encompassing several U.S.-born generation.
• The largest group, behind non-Hispanic whites, in
  the labor force of an entrepreneurial bent that
  is fueling the U.S. economic engine and
  projected to account for 46 percent of total U.S.
  population growth over the next two decades.
• Exerting an ever-increasing influence on American
  media, music, fashion and cuisine, Hispanics are
  themselves in flux, retaining much of their
  cultural heritage as they adopt American
  political and philosophical views and behaviors.

Shaping Americas Future

• The key to Hispanic American influence might
  well lie not in the constant stream of
  immigration, but in the coming of age of the
  second and third generations that will swell the
  ranks of U.S. Latinos in coming decades. Young,
  U.S.-born and educated, are primarily English
  speakers, Hispanics are poised to bring about the
  next American social and cultural revolution.
  Heres what the latest numbers say about this
  dynamic sector.

The Latest Data in Hispanic America

• The U.S. Hispanic population more than doubled
  between 1980 and 2000, accounting for 38 of
  total U.S. population growth, and is expected to
  account for 46 of total U.S. population growth
  over the next 2 decades. (Pew Hispanic Center
  Report Trends 2005)
• Births to Hispanic immigrants, rather than
  immigration itself, will be the key source of
  this growth by 2010, Hispanic Americans are
  projected to number 47.7 million, a number that
  will swell to 60.4 million by 2020.

Dynamic Trends Language

• U.S. Hispanics are the fifth-largest
  Spanish-Speaking community in the world behind,
  Mexico, Spain, Columbia and Argentina. But the
  reality is that Latinos are often just as
  comfortable in English as in Spanish.
• Research shows that with population growth being
  driven by a high birth rate rather than
  immigration, U.S. Hispanics will become primarily
  English speakers.
• In fact, according to the Pew Hispanic Center,
  75 of Latino adults today are either
  English-dominant or bilingual.
• Language also plays a central role in defining
  identity and attitudes, with English-dominant
  Hispanics expressing views more similar to the
  general U.S. population than their foreign-born
  counterparts.
