By 2050, the Hispanic population is projected to nearly triple. Nearly one in three U.S. residents will be Hispanic. ( By contrast, non-Hispanic whites are expected to make up 46 percent of the population; blacks will be 15 percent, Asians will be 9 percent.) source
Latinos are the least likely to have college degrees: Hispanics lag behind every other population group. Thirteen percent of Hispanics in the United States have a bachelor's degree or higher, compared to 53 percent of Asians, 33 percent of non-Hispanic whites and 20 percent of blacks.
