For example, it was predicted that due to demographic shifts in the overall population, blacks and Latinx would represent a large share of the new entrants into the workforce. The primary purpose of this article is to examine whether the economic forecasts for workforce 2000 were accurate. The findings of this study suggest economic forecasting was inaccurate and that public and private sectors failed to prepare blacks and Latinx for the modern economy. – Reproduced Black employment, Skills mismatch, Perpetuating inequality 29784 Administration and Society LABOUR AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 393227 IIPA IIPA 2022-02-12 53(9), Oct, 2021: p.1362-1389 AR126208 2022-02-12 AR
