Question

Identify the most significant factor contributing to the challenges facing modern Native Americans in New Mexico.

Answer 1

Answer

Hi,

The problem of low rate of employment of Native Americans in New Mexico

Explanation

Even with the current positive developments, Native Americans are still among the most economical disadvantaged group with more than 20% individuals living in poverty unlike the Hispanic whites.  Less number of Native Americans own homes, homes being a key source of wealth for most Americans. A key reason behind this economic depression facing the group is high jobless rates leading to poverty and lack of wealth growth. The government should maximize the number and size of tribal programs that support higher education which can increase the rate of Native American employment chances through preparing a skilled work force.

Hope this Helps!
