Over the next decade it is estimated that 30% of Michigan’s population will begin to enter
retirement. Due to this void in the workforce, Michigan’s population growth is more imperative
than ever. Despite this decrease in the Baby Boomer generation workforce, the Latino
population continues to grow. The growth of the Latino population continues to be crucial to
economic well-being of the state.

Population Michigan’s birth rate has dropped more than 21% over the
last decade. In 2000, there were 153,080 births to Michigan residents
according to the U.S. Census and in 2009, 117,309 babies were born. This decline in population is having a detrimental effect on Michigan’s economy.
Michigan’s loss of manufacturing jobs has caused 15,855 jobs to leave Michigan resulting in economic loss of $1.9 billion.
The exodus of Michigan residents is having a negative effect on Michigan’s population and economy.
Therefore, Michigan is in need of immigrant population with a high birth rate to improve economic conditions.

Access to Educational Resources, 2009
15% of Hispanics in Michigan have access to well-resourced, high-performing schools, compared to 34% accessibility of their white peers and 7% of their black peers
In addition, 41% of Hispanics in Michigan are enrolled in poorly-resourced, low-performing schools in Michigan, compared with 13% of their white peers and 62% of their black peers
Therefore, Hispanics have a likely chance to be disadvantaged by the lack of resources in the schools they attend

Unemployment Rates for Hispanics
28
The sharp jump in unemployment rates in Michigan for Hispanics in 2001 is consistent with the heavy recession-induced job loss in manufacturing that occurred that year. According to this data, Hispanic jobless rates in Michigan have ranged from a low of 5.5% in 2006 to a high of 16.6% in 2009. The large jobless rate drop in 2006 for Hispanics may be overstated, as total unemployment statewide was basically flat.
Hispanic jobless rates have been significantly higher than average for all years except 2006. Hispanic jobless rates in most years were well above rates for whites, but remain below the jobless rates recorded for the Michigan African American labor force.
The jobless rate for Michigan Hispanics in 2009 is 16.6%, as compared to the 6.1% jobless rate for Michigan’s general population
Unemployment rates for Hispanics in Michigan must be used with caution due to data fluctuations.

Areas of Employment by Hispanics, Employment Distribution by Occupational Categories
32
Michigan Hispanics are more concentrated in occupations of services and production, manufacturing, and leisure and hospitality than occupations in information, financial, and administrative services industries
A much higher proportion of Michigan Hispanics were employed in production occupations versus the nation (16% for Michigan vs. 9% for the U.S.). This partially reflects the fact that Michigan’s economy has traditionally had a higher proportion of its total workforce employed in manufacturing.
Relatively speaking, fewer Hispanics in Michigan were employed in construction and extraction occupations than nationally (9% vs. 14% percent). The higher relative availability of production positions in Michigan, due to its large manufacturing base, provides alternative job opportunities for Hispanics who might otherwise pursue construction jobs. Skill and educational requirements for these jobs can be similar, although some of the production positions offer greater potential for year-round work.

Employment Distribution by Level of Income
33
According to U.S. Census data, Hispanic workers in Michigan were disproportionately concentrated in the lowest wage categories when compared with the overall labor force.
Hispanics experience higher unemployment rates, earn less, and are more likely to be concentrated in low pay jobs than their counterparts
The median earnings for Michigan Hispanics’ annual personal income in 2009 was $18,300 in relation to $27,000 for non-Hispanic whites and $21,000 for blacks
Annually, Hispanics earn less than their counterparts by an average of $9,833 nationally and $7,541 in Michigan

level. While the Latino population has a high rate of employment, the jobs are at
the lower-level occupations. Michigan Latinos 16 years and over had a 69% employment rate and a
unemployment rate of 9%. Michigan’s white labor force 16 years and over has a 64% employment rate
and 5% unemployment. Michigan has a median household income of $45,255 for all residents. Michigan Latino population median household income is estimated at
$36,413 compared with that of whites with an estimated income at $48,651.

Civic Engagement
45
Nationally, there has been a 53% increase in Hispanic elected officials from 1996-2010 In Michigan, Hispanic elected officials grew from 4 to 11 between 1996 and 2006,
defined as State Executives and Legislators, County and Municipal Officials, Judicial/Law Enforcement Officials, and Education and School Board members. In 2010, the number fell to 11, of which one-third work for Judicial/Law Enforcement.
Latinos made up 2% of the total registered voters in the 2008 presidential election and 6.9% of total registered voters in the 2010 midterm elections.
In 2009, Michigan had one Hispanic in the State Senate, and two in the State House of Representatives.
The increasing number of Hispanic elected officials was due both to the growth of the Hispanic population and the development of mobilization efforts within the Hispanic community.
