The composition of the workforce will be impacted by the increasing number of Asian and Hispanic workers and professionals. The growth of Black Americans is projected to be 6.4 million by 2050. Whites make up the majority of the labor force (78%), Blacks (13%), and Asians (6%). By ethnicity, 17% of the labor force were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity, who may be of any race (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018). By 2025, racial and minority groups will comprise 42% of the U.S. population, thereby increasing the diversity of the workforce (Brimhall et al., 2014). The rapid shifts in the U.S. workforce demographics have provided the impetus for organizations to forge culturally competent labor force and develop inclusive work environments (Velasco & Sansone, 2019).
