Resumen: This paper focuses on trends in racial/ethnic disparities in employment, earnings and family income over the last quarter of the twentieth century. It also reviews several areas in which persisting racial inequalities affect life chances. These include racial disparities in wealth, how perceptions of racial inequalities affect emotional well-being, perceptions of racial discrimination, and views on racial integration. In addition, it will offer a public policy agenda for reducing racial/ethnic economic disparities.
