Asians
and Hispanics have the fastest labor force growth, primarily because of
immigration.
The higher-than-average labor force growth for blacks reflects a higher birth rate among blacks than among white non-Hispanics. White non-Hispanics will still be the largest labor force group, accounting for about 71 percent of the labor force in 2008. Hispanics will account for about 13 percent, black non-Hispanics for about 11 percent, and Asians and other groups for about 5 percent.
