Hispanics

Like blacks, Hispanics make up a smaller proportion of workers in S&E occupations than of the U.S. workforce as a whole (6% versus 16%). Relative to their share of S&E occupations, Hispanic scientists and engineers hold larger shares of S&E-related and non-S&E occupations. Hispanics constitute larger shares of those employed as social workers or health technologists or technicians than they do of computer and math scientists and physical and related scientists.
