Racial and Ethnic Minorities Will
Continue to Shape Maryland’s Future
• Hispanics are the State’s fastest growing population group
followed by Asians
• The growing Hispanic and Asian presence is reflected each day
in the State’s public schools, universities, neighborhoods, and
work sites
• The growth in the State’s Hispanic and Asian communities has
generated many opportunities, particularly in the areas of
economic development through the creation of small businesses
and a diverse and dedicated work force
• With opportunities come unique challenges – educational and
health disparities, affordable housing, and equal access to public
services

Improving Educational Levels Is Key to
Ensuring a Strong State
• Disparities exist in the educational attainment of several
minority groups in Maryland, particularly among Hispanics and
African Americans
• Since Hispanics are the fastest growing population group in
Maryland and African Americans are the largest minority
group, it is critical that the educational levels of these groups
improve as we move forward as a state and nation
• Unless disparities in educational attainment are reduced, the
employment and income potential for many Hispanics and
African Americans will most likely be diminished
