While the Internet has become a daily part of most American lives, Hispanics with lower levels of education and English proficiency are lagging, according to a new report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Seventy-one percent of the non-Hispanic, white adult population in the United States currently goes online, the study found, but only about 56 percent of the adult Latino population — which now makes up 14 percent of the U.S. — uses the Internet. The researchers said 60 percent of the non-Hispanic black adult population regularly surfs the Web.
Where are these percentages of latinos coming from? How many participated?. Rrticle doesn't give references.
