The decrease is sharpest among immigrants from Mexico and among immigrants who arrived in the U.S. since 2000. But the increase in the unemployment rate for immigrant Hispanics is not as high as the increase for native-born Hispanic workers. Also, median weekly wages fell for native-born Hispanics but not for the foreign-born. These developments, however, could be an artifact, a consequence of the withdrawal of low-wage foreign-born Hispanics from the labor force.

The Center’s analysis also finds that 9% of the electorate was Latino, up from 8% in 2004. This report contains an analysis of exit poll results for the Latino vote in 9 states and for the U.S. Research & Publications http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=98 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:00:00 EST http://pewhispanic.org/factsheets/factsheet.php?FactsheetID=44 Unlike in the rest of the country, the Latino vote in the Sunshine State has tended to be heavily Republican; but changing politics and demographics have produced a substantial shift in electoral rolls.

A new Pew Hispanic Center report analyzes Latino growth and settlement patterns over the past three decades. Browse our interactive maps that provide details about the changing Latino population and our interactive databases that offer demographic information about Latinos in each of the nation's 50 states and 3,141 counties. Research & Publications http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=96 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 23:55:00 EST http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=94 There were 11.9 million unauthorized immigrants living in the United States in March 2008, according to new Pew Hispanic Center estimates. The unauthorized immigrant population grew more slowly in the period from 2005 to 2008 than it did earlier in the decade. The inflow of immigrants who are undocumented has now fallen below that of immigrants who are legal permanent residents, reversing a trend that began a decade ago.

Household incomes of non-citizens who are Hispanic; from Latin America; recently arrived; male; less educated; and employed in construction, production or service occupations fell the most.

On the question of immigration enforcement, Latinos disapprove of all five enforcement measures asked about in this survey—and generally do so by lopsided margins. Research & Publications http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=93 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:00:00 EST http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=92 The number of Hispanic students in the nation’s public schools nearly doubled from 1990 to 2006, accounting for 60% of the total growth in public school enrollments over that period. Strong growth in Hispanic enrollment is expected to continue for decades, according to a recently released U.S. Census Bureau population projection. In 2050, there will be more school-age Hispanic children than school-age non-Hispanic white children. This report presents demographic, language, and family background characteristics of the nation’s 10 million Hispanic public school students. Research & Publications http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=92 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:00:00 EST http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=91 More than one in four Hispanic adults in the United States lack a usual health care provider and a similar proportion report obtaining no health care information from medical professionals in the past year. At the same time, more than eight in 10 receive health information from alternative sources, such as television and radio. This includes most of those who get no information from doctors or other medical professionals. The report is based on a nationally representative bilingual survey of 4,013 Hispanic adults. It also examines Hispanics' knowledge of diabetes-a serious chronic disease that is more prevalent among Hispanics than non-Hispanic whites. Research & Publications http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=91 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:01:00 EST http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=90 Hispanic registered voters support Democrat Barack Obama for president over Republican John McCain by 66% to 23%, according to a nationwide survey of 2,015 Latinos conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, from June 9 through July 13, 2008. In addition to their strong support for Obama, Latino voters have moved sharply into the Democratic camp in the past two years, reversing a pro-GOP tide that had been evident among Latinos earlier in the decade. The report also examines Hispanic registered voter engagement, ratings of national conditions, and top campaign issues.
