Houston’s Metro hits a roadblock in recruiting of Hispanics – Despite agency’s vigorous outreach efforts, the group makes up just 16% of its work force
Tagged: Houston, outreach, population, TexasPosted on: July 16th, 2007“Hispanics are the fastest-growing population group in Houston and the nation. But not at the Metropolitan Transit Authority.
Despite aggressive outreach programs, Metro has made glacially slow progress in hiring Hispanics.
In 2005, the most recent estimate available, Hispanics made up 30 percent of the area population, but they still are just 16 percent of Metros work force.”
