A significant portion of the Hispanic population participates in the labor force. In 2007, 69% of the Hispanic population age 16 and older were in the labor force, which was slightly higher than the level of participation for the total U.S. population. Despite comparable rates of labor force participation, Hispanics experienced an unemployment rate in 2007 (5.6%) which was higher than that of the total U.S. population (4.6%). U.S. Department of Labor, Current Population Survey, Table 3, “Employment status of the civilian noninstitutional population by age, sex, and race,” and Table 4, “Employment status of the Hispanic or Latino population by age and sex.” Conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Washington, DC, 2007.
