New Report Examines Education and Workforce Outcomes for Detroit’s Latino/Hispanic Community

Detroit Future City (DFC), the think-and-do tank focused on advancing economic equity in Detroit, released the “Prosperidad Económica: Education and Workforce Outcomes for Detroit’s Latino/Hispanic Community” brief to shed light on disparities across critical equity issues related to education and workforce in Detroit’s Latino/Hispanic community. The brief builds upon DFC’s extensive research portfolio, particularly “The State of Economic Equity in Detroit” report released in 2021, which tracked Detroit’s progress toward a more economically equitable future.

“DFC’s State of Economic Equity report uncovered some distinct challenges Latino/Hispanic Detroiters are facing, and we wanted to dig deeper into this data to bring attention to where this significant community stands within the growth of our city,” said Anika Goss, DFC CEO. “With the immense contributions Latino/Hispanic Detroiters provide to Detroit’s cultural and economic fabric, it’s critical to understand and address how we can help this community fully participate in the city’s growth.”

In the development of “Prosperidad Económica: Education and Workforce Outcomes for Detroit’s Latino/Hispanic Community,” DFC convened a research advisory group comprised of stakeholders who are part of and work with the Latino/Hispanic community to provide further insight into the context surrounding this brief.

Classroom challenges 

Education is widely recognized as a catalyst of economic mobility, and level of educational attainment significantly influences the ability of individuals to participate and excel in the workforce. “Prosperidad Económica: Education and Workforce Outcomes for Detroit’s Latino/Hispanic Community” highlights opportunities to improve educational outcomes for Latino/Hispanic Detroiters’ and the need to actively work across systems to support Latino/Hispanic Detroiters’ success in the classroom and in accessing jobs.

The brief acknowledges that many Latino/Hispanic Detroiters may be the first in their family to have completed high school or college, despite having lived in the city for multiple generations, and they often shoulder familial commitments and financial responsibilities early on that can prevent them from participating in afterschool programs or completing high school diplomas or advanced degrees. The brief recognizes the need for additional resources in the classroom to support Latino/Hispanic students’ success and highlights a range of other external factors and wraparound services that also impact student learning. The gaps in educational attainment feed into challenges Latinos/Hispanics face when it comes to obtaining employment that often has minimum degree requirements.

English/Language Arts (ELA) proficiency for third graders is a key indicator of a child’s educational progress, with lower competency in foundational skills like reading correlating to increased school dropout rates. Data in the brief shows only 10% of Latino/Hispanic third graders in Detroit were proficient in ELA, compared to 27% in the region and 29% statewide. Furthermore, between 2019 and 2022, there was a citywide 5-percentage-point drop in third grade ELA proficiency, impacting racial/ethnic groups across the board. The decline was most pronounced among Latino/Hispanic students who experienced a decrease of 9 percentage points.

As it relates to educational attainment, 45% of Latino/Hispanic Detroiters had not completed their high school education or obtained its equivalent, a GED (a standard prerequisite for most jobs), 28 percentage points higher than the city average. Only 11% of Latino/Hispanic Detroiters 25 or older held a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 37% of white residents.

For nontraditional career pathways, career and technical education (CTE) programs can provide viable opportunities, but Latino/Hispanic Detroiters experienced a 10-percentage point decline (from 39% to 29%) in CTE completion rate since the COVID-19 pandemic.

The education-workforce connection

“Prosperidad Económica: Education and Workforce Outcomes for Detroit’s Latino/Hispanic Community” shows Latino/Hispanic Detroiters participation in the job/labor market had an uptick from 63% to 66% and 84% of Latinos were working full-time.  Though, despite these encouraging statistics, the Latino/Hispanic population has the second highest unemployment rate in Detroit and experience significant pay equity discrepancies across racial lines. Latino/Hispanic Detroiters with a bachelor’s degree earn $24 per hour, about $5 less per hour than their white counterparts with the same educational level.

As of 2021, 29% of Latino/Hispanic workers held positions categorized as accessible but low-wage, while 35% were employed in middle-wage jobs and 35% had jobs requiring a bachelor’s degree or higher.

“We know there are many unique identities, nationalities and ancestries even within our Latino community here in Detroit. It is important that we implement comprehensive and culturally relevant programming and investments that can meet the unique needs of our Latino community to advance economic equity and truly promote prosperity in the city,” said Ashley Williams Clark, DFC vice president and director of the Center for Equity, Engagement, and Research. “It is imperative that we prioritize efforts to eliminate barriers to accessing basic wraparound services that influence achievement gaps, invest in education, reduce barriers in opportunity and participation in educational and workforce solutions, and ensure increased representation of our Latino community in full-time positions in high-wage sectors.”

DFC will be hosting a webinar on Wednesday, August 7, from noon to 1 p.m. to offer further insights and discussion about the “Prosperidad Económica: Education and Workforce Outcomes for Detroit’s Latino/Hispanic Community” and answer community questions. The webinar will include a panel of local practitioners and thought leaders as well.

About Detroit Future City

Detroit Future City (DFC) is a think-and-do tank that coordinates strategies, actions and resources to catalyze long-term revitalization, improve economic equity and enhance quality of life in Detroit.  DFC was launched in May 2013 to advance the recommendation of the DFC Strategic Framework, a 50-year vision for the City of Detroit. For more information, visit www.DetroitFutureCity.com.

Un Nuevo informe evalúa los resultados de la educación y la fuerza laboral en la comunidad latina/hispana de Detroit

Detroit Future City (DFC), es un grupo de pensamiento y acción, centrado en promover la equidad económica de Detroit y publicó reciéntemente el informe “Prosperidad Económica: Resultados de la educación y la fuerza laboral en la comunidad latina/hispana de Detroit” para arrojar datos sobre la disparidad e inequidad, en temas de educación y fuerza laboral. El informe se basa en la amplia cartera de investigación de DFC, particularmente en “El estado de la equidad económica en Detroit” publicado en 2021, que siguió el progreso de Detroit hacia un futuro económicamente más equitativo.

“El informe sobre el estado de la equidad económica del DFC presentó algunos desafíos que enfrentan los latinos en Detroit, y se quería profundizar en estos datos para resaltar dónde se encuentra esta importante comunidad y su influencia en el crecimiento de la ciudad… Con las inmensas contribuciones que los latinos brindan al tejido cultural y económico de Detroit, es fundamental comprender y abordar cómo podemos ayudarlos a participar plenamente en el crecimiento de la ciudad”. Comentó Anika Goss, directora ejecutiva del DFC. 

En el desarrollo del informe, el DFC convocó a un grupo asesor de investigación compuesto por partes que conforman a la comunidad latina y que trabajan para brindarle más información sobre el medio que los rodea.

Desafíos en el aula

La educación es ampliamente reconocida como un catalizador de la movilidad económica, y el nivel de educación influye significativamente en la capacidad de participar y sobresalir en la fuerza laboral. En el informe publicado, se destacaron las oportunidades para mejorar los resultados educativos de los habitantes latinos de Detroit y la necesidad de trabajar activamente en todos los sistemas, para apoyar el éxito en el aula y en el acceso al empleo.

El informe reconoce que muchos habitantes latinos de Detroit podrían ser los primeros de su familia en haber completado la escuela secundaria o la universidad, a pesar de haber vivido en la ciudad durante varias generaciones, y a menudo asumen compromisos familiares y responsabilidades financieras desde el principio que pueden impedirles participar en programas extracurriculares o completar diplomas de escuela secundaria o títulos avanzados. El informe reconoce la necesidad de recursos adicionales en el aula para apoyar el éxito de los estudiantes latinos/hispanos y destaca una variedad de factores externos y servicios integrales que también impactan en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Las brechas en el nivel educativo, alimentan los desafíos que enfrentan los latinos cuando se trata de obtener un empleo, que a menudo requiere un título básico.

El dominio del inglés/artes del lenguaje (ELA) de los estudiantes de tercer grado es un indicador clave del progreso educativo de un niño, y una menor competencia en habilidades fundamentales como la lectura se correlaciona con mayores tasas de deserción escolar. Los datos del informe muestran que sólo el 10% de los estudiantes latinos/hispanos de tercer grado en Detroit dominaban ELA, en comparación con el 27% en la región y el 29% en todo el estado. Además, entre 2019 y 2022, hubo una caída de 5 puntos porcentuales en toda la ciudad en el dominio de ELA en tercer grado, lo que afectó a los grupos raciales/étnicos en todos los ámbitos. La disminución fue más pronunciada entre los estudiantes latinos/hispanos que experimentaron una disminución de 9 puntos porcentuales.

En lo que respecta al nivel educativo, el 45% de los habitantes latinos/hispanos de Detroit no habían completado su educación secundaria ni habían obtenido su equivalente, un GED (un requisito previo estándar para la mayoría de los empleos), 28 puntos porcentuales más que el promedio de la ciudad. Sólo el 11% de los habitantes de Detroit latinos/hispanos de 25 años o más tenían una licenciatura o un título superior, en comparación con el 37% de los residentes blancos.

Para las trayectorias profesionales no tradicionales, los programas de educación profesional y técnica (CTE) pueden brindar oportunidades viables, pero los latinos/hispanos de Detroit experimentaron una disminución de 10 puntos porcentuales (del 39 % al 29 %) en la tasa de finalización de CTE desde la pandemia de COVID-19.

La conexión entre educación y fuerza laboral

Nuestro informe muestra que la participación de los latinos/hispanos de Detroit en el mercado laboral tuvo un aumento del 63% al 66% y el 84% son latinos que trabajaban a tiempo completo. Sin embargo, a pesar de estas estadísticas alentadoras, la población latina, tiene la segunda tasa de desempleo más alta en Detroit y experimenta importantes discrepancias entre la equidad salarial y líneas raciales. Los habitantes latinos/hispanos de Detroit con una licenciatura ganan $24 por hora, alrededor de $5 menos por hora que sus homólogos blancos con el mismo nivel educativo.

En 2021, el 29 % de los trabajadores latinos/hispanos ocupaban puestos categorizados como accesibles, pero de salario bajo, mientras que el 35 % estaban empleados en puestos de salario medio y el 35 % tenía trabajos que requerían una licenciatura o superior.

“Sabemos que hay muchas identidades, nacionalidades y ascendencias únicas dentro de nuestra comunidad latina aquí en Detroit. Es importante que implementemos programas e inversiones integral y culturalmente relevantes que puedan satisfacer las necesidades únicas de nuestra comunidad latina para promover la equidad económica y generar verdaderamente prosperidad en la ciudad… Es imperativo que prioricemos los esfuerzos para eliminar las barreras de acceso a servicios integrales básicos, que influyen en las brechas de rendimiento; invertir en educación, reducir la barrera de oportunidades y participar en soluciones educativas y laborales, asegurando una mayor representación de nuestra comunidad latina en puestos de tiempo completo, en sectores de salarios altos”. Compartió Ashley Williams Clark, vicepresidenta del DFC y directora del Centro para Equidad, compromiso e investigación.

El DFC organizará un seminario web el miércoles 7 de agosto, de 12 p.m. a 1 p.m. para ofrecer más ideas y debates sobre “Prosperidad Económica: Resultados de la educación y la fuerza laboral para la comunidad latina/hispana de Detroit” y responder preguntas de la comunidad. El seminario web también incluirá un panel de profesionales y líderes de opinión locales.

Para ver el resumen de “Prosperidad Económica: Resultados de la educación y la fuerza laboral para la comunidad latina/hispana de Detroit” y registrarse para el seminario web, visite www.detroitfuturecity.com.
