Abstract
During the mid-1980s executives and managers began to develop interest in the work force as it would exist in the year 2000. The Hudson Institute study, which was sponsored by the Department of Labor, entitled Workforce 2000, created an awareness that labor markets were going to be dramatically different. (See the Hudson Institute and Department of Labor (1987)). Some organizations even began to develop human resource plans to address key Workforce 2000 themes so they would have the time to make needed changes. One of the themes from Workforce 2000 which got addressed very early was to improve the basic communication skills of Hispanic workers. Since these early studies were fifteen years before the end of the century, the themes presented were often broad enough to withstand the test of time. Some of the themes presented for Workforce 2000 are already visible today.
