We began these blogs because we wanted to start a conversation. We wanted to provide a place where this community can come to check its own pulse. We encourage response and conversation. We just ask you to keep it respectful. We'd love to hear it. It's a conversation, after all, we hope you'll add to it.

Please review the terms & conditions of our blog.

Economic (In)Security: Report Released

The Experience of the African-American and Latino Middle Classes

I wanted to post about a couple of segments that caught my attention from the recent report "Economic (In)Security: The Experience of the African-American Latino Middle Class." The report says:

"African-American and Latino families are less likely to be part of the middle class, and those who have entered the middle class experience significantly less economic security. This stark reality is dramatically out of sync with where we as a nation need to go in the future."
