A survey of 6,043 professionals in 349 deaf education programs showed that 10.4% are from nonwhite or minority ethnic/cultural backgrounds. Of these minority professionals, 11.7% are deaf. Only 8 minority deaf administrators were found. Chi-square analyses showed that ethnic/cultural background and hearing loss were strongly associated with the type of program where the professionals were employed. More than half of the minority professionals worked in public schools. The District of Columbia, New York, and Maryland lead the country in the number of deaf professionals employed. More than half of all black deaf professionals work in either D.C. or New York. Texas leads the country in numbers of Hispanic professionals employed, and New Mexico has more Hispanic professionals than does California, New York, or Florida.
一项针对349个聋人教育项目中6043名专业人员的调查显示，10.4%的人来自非白人或少数族裔/文化背景。在这些少数族裔专业人员中，11.7%是聋人。仅发现8名少数族裔聋人管理人员。卡方分析表明，种族/文化背景和听力损失与专业人员所在的项目类型密切相关。超过一半的少数族裔专业人员在公立学校工作。哥伦比亚特区、纽约和马里兰州在雇佣聋人专业人员数量上位居全国前列。所有黑人聋人专业人员中，超过一半在哥伦比亚特区或纽约工作。得克萨斯州在雇佣西班牙裔专业人员数量上位居全国首位，新墨西哥州的西班牙裔专业人员比加利福尼亚州、纽约州或佛罗里达州都多。
