Minority Groups in the Economics Profession
提供了黑人和西班牙裔等少数群体在经济学教育各阶段和劳动力市场中的代表性数据，发现尽管获得学位的人数增加，但绝对数量仍很小，且在学术界和政府中代表性不足。
The primary objective of this paper is to provide information about minorities (blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans)in economics, at various stages in the education pipeline, and in the labor market. Despite sustained increases in the numbers and percentages of minorities earning bachelors degrees and Ph.D.s, the absolute numbers remain very small--only about 36 new Ph.D.s per year, including permanent residents. Minority economists are relatively underrepresented on four-year college faculties and in government employment. The paper also discusses activities by the AEA's committee on minority groups, aimed at increasing minority representation in the profession.
