In 2050, minorities will be the majority in America according to projections in the U.S. Census Bureau. Minorities, classified as those of any race other than non-Hispanic, single-race whites, currently constitute about a third of the U.S. population, according to Census figures. But by 2042, they are projected to become the majority, making up more than half the population. By 2050, 54 percent of the population will be minorities.
Minority children are projected to reach that milestone even sooner. By 2023, the bureau said, more than half of all children will be minorities.
I'm interested in learning what states will see the "increase". With the balance slowly tipping, I wonder in the South will be a totally different place. I'm also curious to see how diverse the job market will be and if the glass ceiling notion will have much meaning. If the numbers are correct, will Affirmative Action be necessary? Will certain scholarships continue or fade out. Who knows, but I guess we will see...soon.
