Latinos fastest growing ethnic group in Michigan

Ethriam Brammer, associate director of Chicano-Boricua Studies at Wayne State University, discussed the impact of Latinos in Michigan and the positive contributions they're making in the state. Wayne State University in 2008 collaborated with the Center for Urban Studies and Center for Chicano-Boricua Studies to look at the economic impact of Latinos. According to Brammer, Latinos are the most rapidly growing ethnic group in Michigan and the university wanted to measure the positive economic impact because there are a lot of misconceptions about the kind of drain that is purported of the community. http://mms.tveyes.com/Transcript.asp?StationID=2980&DateTime=7%2F3%2F2011+11%3A11%3A54+AM&LineNumber=&MediaStationID=2980&playclip=True&RefPage=
