Abstract:
|
Census data show changing geographic distributions and greater diversity of minority and new immigrant populations. ASA, federal agencies and higher education respond with various initiatives to include these populations in a competitive US labor force, including STEM. Future growth of younger Americans is primarily racial/ethnic minorities and new immigrants. Yet, the statistical industry and higher education continue to draw from foreign student and labor force pipelines disproportionately relative to "Made in the USA" ones. What are successful investments and returns in higher education and industry to reverse this trend? What are post-1964 successes in federal agencies, both civilian and military, and other sectors, particularly in STEM occupations to include historical racial/ethnic minorities and new immigrants?
