NSHP's Washington, D.C. Career Fair was a Huge Success
The cloudy skies over the nation’s capital didn’t stop more than 500 candidates and over 60 employers from attending our Washington, D.C. job fair! After a full day of interviews and Q&A sessions, some candidates were hired on the spot and others were scheduled for second interviews. If you missed D.C., our San Diego job fair is Oct. 18.

The Hispanic Health Paradox
Many studies report that U.S. Hispanics have better or similar health compared to non-Hispanic Whites, despite having lower incomes and less education. Hispanics also have relatively lower mortality rates compared with Whites. What’s the secret behind better than-expected health and mortality rate among Latinos?

Minorities are the Majority in Urban US
According to new analysis of census data, Whites are outnumbered in nearly one-tenth of the nation's 3,141 counties. This shift reflects the country’s increasing diversity, the result of immigration (particularly from Central and South America) and the higher birth rate among blacks and Hispanics.

The Hispanic Vote: A Rise in Numbers
The Hispanic community is the fastest-growing minority group in the United States according to the U.S. census, but its percentage of the electorate is lower than its numbers would indicate due to lower citizenship rates, less voter participation and a youthful demographic.

The Importance of Hispanic Representation in Human Resources
Hispanic job board LatPro.com says growth in the U.S. Latino population and the resulting increase in workforce diversity mean businesses should be looking for Hispanic professionals to serve in a variety of HR roles.

This equates to the English saying: "Slow and steady wins the race."
