Abstract	Demographic and economic characteristics of Spanish Americans in North Dakota in 1980 are presented, using data from the Bureau of the Census. Statistics show 3,902 Spanish Americans were living in North Dakota (0.6% of the state's population): 59.4% were Mexican; 6.3% Puerto Rican, 1.5% Cuban, and 32.8% of other Spanish descent, with more males overall. Of the total Spanish American population, 50.7% were under 20 years of age, and 58.1% of these were under 10 years of age. The median age was 19.8 years, compared with 28.3 years statewide. About 24.1% of all Spanish American women and 37.2% of the men were single. Fertility levels for Spanish American women were higher than those for North Dakota women. In 1980, 28.3% of all Spanish Americans (over 25 years of age) had completed fewer than 9 years of formal education. Cubans had the highest labor force participation rate among Spanish Americans (94.9% of those 16 and over), while persons of other Spanish descent had the lowest. In North Dakota, 13.4% of all Spanish Americans in the civilian labor force were unemployed, more than twice the rate for state residents. Service occupations employed the most Spanish Americans. Median income was $12,323--compared with $18,023 statewide; 23.8% fell below the poverty level. (JMM)
