New census milestone: Hispanics reach 50 million

March 24th, 2011

By HOPE YEN
Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a surprising show of growth, Hispanics accounted for more than half of the U.S. population increase over the last decade, exceeding estimates in many states as they crossed a new census milestone: 50 million, or 1 in 6 Americans.

Meanwhile, more than 9 million Americans checked more than one race category on their 2010 census form, up 32 percent from 2000, a sign of burgeoning multiracial growth in an increasingly minority nation.

The Census Bureau on Thursday was releasing its first set of national-level findings from the 2010 count on race and migration, detailing a decade in which rapid minority growth, aging whites and the housing boom and bust were the predominant story lines.

The final count: 196.8 million whites, 37.7 million blacks, 50.5 million Hispanics and 14.5 million Asians.

Hispanics and Asians were the two fastest growing demographic groups, increasing about 42 percent from 2000.

In a surprising show of growth, Hispanics accounted for more than half of the U.S. population increase over the last decade, exceeding estimates in most states. Pulled by migration to the Sun Belt, America’s population center edged westward on a historic path to leave the Midwest.

Are You a Professional? If So, Do NOT Reduce Your Fees!

March 19th, 2010

When was the last time you asked your doctor or your lawyer to give you a discount on his/her fees? Unless your doctor or lawyer is a relative or good friend, it’s very likely you wouldn’t dare ask such a professional service provider to give you a discount, would you? So, if you consider yourself a professional, how come you continue to allow others to ask you to reduce your fees? But this fact is not the worst part of the situation. Many professionals are lowering their fees in a desperate attempt to get business.

Clients are asking for discounts, and many professionals are honoring their requests more and more every day. When you provide a discount on your services, you are giving permission to others to think your services are not worth much. Read the rest of this entry »

Interruptions at Work – 5 Ways to Manage Them Proactively

November 3rd, 2009

Whether you run your business from a home office, or you work in a corporate environment, interruptions at work are a fact of life.  In fact, they’re a central element in many jobs, and as a result, there’s a need to adjust and work with very short periods of concentration.

That doesn’t mean you should sit back and blindly accept all interruptions.  These tips will show you how to minimize those that are unnecessary as well as give you ideas to make the most out whatever focus time you have in between.

  • Get to the real issue, eliminate the interruption.
    Keep a simple “interruption log” for a week – every time you’re interrupted (or you interrupt yourself) note it down, how long it took, who it involved, and why. At the end of the week, look for patterns – if interruptions are coming from the same sources/people, perhaps they need more training, you need to sharpen your delegation skills, or you need to learn to say “not now.”  If clients are having to follow up on things you promised by a certain date, perhaps you need to implement better systems so that things don’t fall through the cracks.

Why Networking Hispanos?

October 27th, 2009

Networking Hispanos is a non-profit organization. It was created with the idea of providing professionals, entrepreneurs and individuals who offer a product or service in Palm Beach and Broward Counties a means of establishing new business relationships, share information and resources so as to enable its members achieve further professional and personal development.

It is a fact that people do business with people they know and with whom they share language, culture, etc.   To satisfy the need in the Hispanic community to engage in an open and flexible manner in the area, Networking Hispanos was established in 2007. Its members currently meet the fourth Wednesday of each month at the Boca Community Center, 150 Crawford Blvd. Boca Raton, at 6:30 p.m.
