"A new report, “Building Tomorrow’s Workforce,” highlights the roles of community colleges and employers in educating Latino immigrants and preparing them for better jobs. A key statistic reflects the report’s theme that immigrant populations are a key part of the workforce, regardless of whether some politicians like to criticize them. The statistic: During the next decade, one in every four new workers in the United States will be an immigrant from Latin America." (from Inside Higher Ed: Quick Takes, Jan 22, 2009)
