The poll was conducted in Spanish and English, and there was close to a 50-50 split on the language folks used when answering.They were also less likely than other groups to say they were satisfied with their lives.And even though Cubans gave positive responses for many economic indicators, they also expressed more concern than most other Latino groups that they or someone in their family might lose their job in the next 12 months.
They were the group most likely to answer this way, despite the higher reported levels of education. But there were some counterintuitive findings, here: While a little over a third of all of the poll's respondents said their finances were not good or poor, nearly half of all Cubans said so.When asked about whether they had experienced four common types of discrimination in the past year, Cuban-Americans were more likely than the other groups to say they had not.They were very likely to tell pollsters that they had a college degree or greater they reported high rates of homeownership and they are more likely than other Latinos to say they have achieved the American dream. Cuban-Americans were out ahead of most other Latino groups on a bunch of socioeconomic indicators.
