Asians were the nation’s fastest-growing race or ethnic group in 2012, according to the U.S. Census Bureau population estimates. In all, the Asian population rose by 530,000, or 2.9 percent, from the preceding year, to 18.9 million. With racial minorities set to become the majority by 2050, there are growing opportunities for APIs to make an impact in the workforce.
