Studies show Indian, Hispanic youths fare worse than whites in ND, Minnesota

GRAND FORKS – American Indian and Hispanic children in North Dakota and Minnesota continue to lag behind their white peers, and by some measures they are worse off than their peers of the same race around the nation, according to a report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

For example, the percentage of Indians and Hispanics who graduated from high school on time in both states is lower than the national average for their racial peers. At the same time, the percentage of whites in both states graduating on time is higher than the average for whites nationwide.

In both cases, Indians and Hispanics lagged behind whites.

The Casey Foundation, known for publishing annual data on children’s well-being in its Kids Count reports, said that, as the number of nonwhite children grows in the nation, they will make up the majority of the workforce by 2030.
