Introduction
There is a need for a country to offer equal opportunities to all citizens and not depending on the ethnic background of individuals. This makes it possible for an equal development of the country as the majority and the minority groups are properly considered in recruitment process of the available posts. Policy makers of a particular nation are aimed at achieving the set macro-economic goals of the country through continuous economic growth and reducing the level of unemployment. In the United States of America the scientists, engineers, mathematicians and technology graduates are important for the development of the nation and the military. The STEM fields are hardly pursued by the minority due to their unfair treatment in the recruitment process making it hard to secure jobs with high wages for the development of the minority group. There is an unfair treatment for the Latinos in military and natural sciences professionals in science, technology, engineering and mathematics courses.
Comparison and contrast in terms of
Treatment
Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) staff are expected to be highly qualified and with great quality for the development of government and private sectors of a nation. STEM is essential in improving the living standards of individuals through employment and making the economy of the United States stable through quality in the profession. STEM workers are important for the development of the economy as the workers provide suitable solutions to a particular problem.

This reduces the opportunity of the Latino, which is a minority group in the USA, to develop by getting involved in STEM careers that are well paying for improved living standards. The treatment of Latino students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics workforce is unfair in the US as just a few of the students are able to attain their dreams of getting a well-paying jobs that will improve the living standards of the individual and the community. The US government is supposed to come up with plans to ensure that the situation is properly handled and the Latinos get equal treatment in natural science professionals.
The unfair treatment of the minority groups is also evident in military recruitment making it hard for the individuals to make it in the military. STEM professionals are important in the military to come up with effective solutions to a problem facing the group. According to Orom, Semalulu and Underwood III (2013) there is a misrepresentation of the minority groups in natural science professionals. This makes it hard for the minority groups like Latinos to make it in the United States army due to the underrepresentation of the minority. The Latino immigrates are increasing in number in the United States and are not considered in military recruitment making the community poor due to the low participation in economic activities.
