The group discussed recommendations for western regional training strategies to help local staff use data and select management information systems to support the National Reporting System. The group also considered topics for adult education policy briefs Abt will develop. More on this at our Area Meetings in February. Contact george_spicely@ed.gov Census Projections Point to ESL By 2005, Hispanics may become the nation's largest minority group, according to new Census projections. Projections suggest the U.S. Hispanic population (of any race) would triple by 2050, rising from 12 percent of the total population in 1999 to 24 percent in 2050. The Asian and Pacific Islander population is projected to more than triple, rising from 4 percent of the total population now to 9 percent in 2050. Populations of non-Hispanic Whites and African Americans would increase more slowly than the other groups. Between 1999 and 2050, our total number of foreign-born could more than double from 26.0 million to 53.8 million.
