Submitted by editor on Sun, 12/09/2007 - 10:28pm.
Employment and Diversity
 
Wages grow at fastest rate in 3 years
American workers are beginning to see long-awaited wage gains, though increases remain well below the levels prior to the 2001 recession.

The Occupational Status and Mobility of Hispanics
According to a recent study sponsored by the Pew Hispanic Center, the divide between the two largest segments of the workforce, Hispanics and whites, appears to be widening when comparing occupational status.

Boston falls short on teacher diversity
The Boston public school system has made no progress in hiring black and Hispanic teachers during the last decade even as it has recruited a more diverse group of principals.

Younger workers want more balance in life and work
To retain existing employees and attract top talent, companies are finding that they must support employees' needs for a balance between professional demands and their personal life.

Immigration bill outrages activists
A tough new illegal immigration bill that just cleared the U.S. House of Representatives this month has outraged advocate groups and church relief agencies who fear their work with new immigrants could become illegal if the measure passes the Senate and becomes law.
 
Hispanic Business & Latino Leaders
 
Grading Hispanic gains on TV? Start with ABC
Years of steady increases in population and buying power have made network TV take notice of Hispanic viewers, resulting in increased and varied roles for Latino actors.

UNC study pegs Hispanic economic impact in N.C. at $9B
North Carolina's growing Hispanic population contributes more than $9 billion each year to the state's economy, a figure that could double by 2009 if current trends continue, according to results of a recent study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Executive Appointments

  • Elizabeth Vargas has been named co-anchor of ABC's World News Tonight, making her the first Hispanic to reach the top on-air position in network TV evening news.

  • Thomas Oliver has been selected by The National Association of Hispanic Publications, Inc. (NAHP) as its new Executive Director & CEO. Mr. Oliver has been Executive Director & CEO of the NAHP’s Foundation for over four years.
 
Latin America News
 
Will Latin America Turn Left?
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez claims that Latin America is experiencing a major anti-U.S. leftward swing. Case in point: the victory in last month's Bolivian presidential race of Chavez ally Evo Morales. TIME Magazine reporters consider the trend and provide a preview of 2006 elections in nine countries.

Fujimori registered for Peru election
Supporters of Peru's former leader Alberto Fujimori have registered him as a candidate in presidential elections scheduled for April, despite the fact that Mr. Fujimori is currently in jail in Chile awaiting extradition to Peru to face human rights charges and is banned from holding public office until 2012.

Brazil to probe army training of Amazon Indians
Photographs of Brazilian soldiers teaching Amazon Indians to shoot assault rifles have triggered an investigation by public prosecutors over concerns such practices may be harming tribal traditions.
