Abstract: Hispanic population growth, in both relative and absolute terms, represents one of the striking demographic changes in the U.S. This demographic shift indicates that the economic status of Hispanics has become increasingly important for the welfare of the nation as a whole. As such, this chapter explores the earnings and other socioeconomic outcomes (including education, homeownership rates, the likelihood of earning interest and dividend income, health insurance coverage, and poverty) of Hispanics in the U.S. While lagging behind their non-Hispanic counterparts, the bulk of the Hispanic/non-Hispanic disparities in these outcomes can be explained by differences in education and other observable characteristics between the populations.
