		<description><![CDATA[White, Asian and Hispanic managers tend to hire more whites and fewer blacks than black managers do, according to a new study out of the University of Miami School of Business Administration. Using more than two years of personnel data from a large U.S. retail chain, the study found that when a black manager in a typical store is replaced by a white, Asian or Hispanic manager, the share of newly hired blacks falls from 21 to 17 percent, and the share of whites hired rises from 60 to 64 percent. The effect is even stronger for stores located in the South, where the replacement of a black manager causes the share of newly hired blacks to fall from 29 to 21 percent. In locations with large Hispanic populations, Hispanics hire more Hispanics and fewer whites than white managers. The study is out this month in the Journal of Labor Economics. The finding is clear evidence that the race or ethnicity of those who make hiring decisions can have a strong impact in the racial makeup of a company&#8217;s workforce, says Laura Giuliano, an assistant professor of economics at the University of Miami School of Business, who authored the study with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[California&#8217;s unemployment rate reached 11.9% in July and continues to climb. The state&#8217;s Hispanic community has been hit even harder. Some estimates forecast a jobless rate as high as 18% for this group by the end of the year. Infinity Insurance is launching a free job search assistance program titled &#8220;Monarca,&#8221; designed to help workers in the hardest hit communities in Southern California find jobs. The program seeks to pool resources from local small businesses and organizations to connect out-of-work people with employment opportunities. Programa Monarca officially launches on Labor Day September 7th and offers a range of free services including: Job searching assistance Help filling out job applications Resume and cover letter writing support Printing and faxing Interview preparation and coaching Programa Monarca is inspired by the Monarch butterfly, famous for its lengthy annual migration between Mexico and the United States. &#8220;Monarch butterflies symbolize hard work, persistence and the strength of community,&#8221; said Tania Calderon of Crown Reinas Insurance, one of many local Infinity independent insurance agents supporting the cause. For further information on Programa Monarca, call 1-800-863-5930 or visit ProgramaMonarca.org. Businesses wishing to participate in the program should contact Janndee Evans at 1-562-653-2211 Source: Infinity Insurance]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SANTA BARBARA, Calif., June 29 /PRNewswire/ &#8212; The June 2009 issue of Hispanic Business magazine features the 27th annual Hispanic Business 500, the benchmark directory of the 500 largest Hispanic-owned companies in the United States. The annual Hispanic Business 500 directory is widely recognized as the barometer of the U.S. Hispanic economy. Cumulative revenues for the directory totaled $36.15 billion, a slight increase from 2008, which totaled $36.10 billion. A searchable directory of the 2009 Hispanic Business 500 is available now on the magazine&#8217;s companion web site, HispanicBusiness.com. For the third straight year, the HB 500&#8242;s top-ranked company was the aptly named Brightstar, a global telecom wholesaler. Though the company posted a dip in revenue of 2.35 percent, it still managed to bring in $3.6 billion. The surprising bright spot of this year&#8217;s list was the financial sector, which posted an impressive 17.2 percent boost in revenues. Pan-American Life Insurance Co. of New Orleans was among the successful businesses in this category, showing an 11 percent gain in revenue over the previous year, as well as a healthy 6 percent profit. Companies included in the 500 must show at least 51 percent ownership by Hispanic U.S. citizens and must maintain [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MillerCoors pledged Friday to increase economic opportunities for Hispanics through an agreement with the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility. Through the joint agreement, MillerCoors and the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility promise to increase and enhance economic opportunities for Hispanics through increased participation in key corporate initiatives such as leadership and work force development, procurement and supplier diversity, marketing and advertising, and community contributions. “Growing and leveraging diversity will provide MillerCoors with a competitive advantage that will not only strengthen our business, but also strengthen the Hispanic community,” said Leo Kiely, MillerCoors CEO. “Through this agreement we will be able to use our collective power to achieve an important goal for both our organizations, to have Hispanics participating at greater levels in our business.” The new five-year agreement is the first since MillerCoors was created in July 2008. Coors was a founding corporate member of HACR and has maintained an agreement since 1986. “It is gratifying to see that MillerCoors recognizes the growing influence of Latinos in the marketplace, workplace and social mainstream, said HACR president and CEO Carlos Orta. MillerCoors is a joint venture of Denver-based Molson Coors Brewing Co. and SABMiller PLC that combines the two international beer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Hiring, Look at Talent not Surface Features I often receive phone calls from advertising colleagues who are looking to add Latino talent to their teams. The caller might own or work for a Hispanic market agency, or a multicultural agency or a general-market agency. He might be a headhunter hired to work with any of these agency types. In most cases, the request is simply about who I know that is talented, easy to work with and has all the right skill sets. However, in some cases, certain biases rear their ugly heads. I&#8217;m asked questions that have no business being asked in this day and age. At a time when jobs are hard to find, it pains me to believe that there are worthy candidates being passed over because of: Skin Color: General-market agencies are often criticized for the lack of diversity within their ranks and, in many cases, they certainly should be. But if truth be told, there are U.S. Hispanic agencies whose staff photos simply do not reflect the diversity of the U.S. Hispanic population as a whole. Black Hispanics have historically found it difficult to find acceptance within some Hispanic circles. The same holds true [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Growing pool of 55+ workers will need to be tapped: AARP WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) &#8212; One day the recession will end, workers will be needed and the growing pool of older Hispanics may be a good option to fill job openings, according to a report released Monday by AARP. The pool of older Hispanic workers is growing faster than the &#8220;traditional&#8221; labor pool of those between 25 and 54, the report said. And for healthy growth, employers will need to replace and add to the more than 6 million jobs that have been lost since the recession began in December 2007. Job figures spark optimismWhile job losses mounted in May, the numbers weren&#8217;t as high as expected and suggest the U.S. recession is close to an end, reports Brian Blackstone of DJ Newswires. &#8220;Once the recession ends, employers may face a scarcity of working-age adults with the necessary skills and experience,&#8221; said Deborah Russell, AARP&#8217;s workforce issues director. &#8220;Hispanics are one of the fastest growing segments of the older population, and they can help in a big way in filling the void.&#8221; In coming years, the traditional labor pool may grow relatively slowly and could be supplemented by older workers. Adults [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Hispanic population in the United States has been growing substantially in recent years, providing businesses with burgeoning workforces.  The Census Bureau expects that by 2015, 17% of the American population will be of Hispanic origin. Demographically, no group of Americans is growing faster than Hispanics. Hispanics are now 8% of the workforce and by 2050, that number is expected to reach 25% of the workforce. The sooner the debate begins to expose some of the major problems Hispanics face, the better. Hispanic immigrants, both documented and undocumented, are bearing the brunt of the new unemployment number spike. This unemployment spike is statistically significant for Hispanics, and not just the impact of recessionary unemployment among undocumented Hispanics, but among all Hispanics. Specifically, unemployment rates for Hispanics and whites from 1976-2008 show that the unemployment gap between Hispanics and whites is stubborn, large, persistent, and is not solely related to their documentation or legal status to work in the United States. Many places across the United States have been profoundly affected by the arrival of Hispanic immigrants – most notably the South – where documented and undocumented workers took jobs in construction and factories. While the economic troubles are widening the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Claudia Goffan Like one of my good teachers once said, “would you ask the janitor to develop your marketing strategy?” Well then, why would you ask your call center representative to create and translate your Spanish collateral materials? How many times do managers find themselves in the position of having to hire an employee—be it for a call center, sales or marketing—and didn’t know how to go about it? Here are some tips on how to hire correctly. If you are looking for a call center representative, you need to find a person with a customer centric attitude and bilingual skills. Ah, but this is tougher than it sounds. The customer service skills are easily detectable, but how do you test the prospect’s bilingual skills in a language you do not know? My advice is to have them take a proficiency test at a local branch of a language instruction institute or a reputable foreign organization that tests Spanish language skills. Maybe you are looking to fill a junior marketing position and you want to make sure you hire the best asset for your company. You will have to do a little research first. If the position requires a [...]]]></description>
