* Data for Latinas in this analysis comes from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Respondents self-identify their sex as either male or female. Latinas are women of any race who self-identified that they are of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin. White, non-Hispanic men self-identified their race as white and indicated that they are not of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin. White men are those who self-identified their race as white but whose Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin is not identified in the data.
