This eighth report in NCLR’s acclaimed State of Hispanic America series, which began in 1991, offers insight into this crucial constituency for elected officials, policymakers, and others interested in the key issues facing the community. The 68-page report provides background, analysis, and recommendations on the three issues Latinos consistently rank as their top priorities – education, health, and employment – as well as on several other major areas of interest, including immigration, counterterrorism policies, criminal justice, farmworkers, and homeownership.
