I applied for many jobs in the last 14 months and one thing that is common on all applications is the questionaire asking age gender, ethnic. Under ethnic, the first question is always , are you Hispanic or Latino? Do the Hispanic or Latino's get special preference over other ethnics?

If you are Hispanic or illegal they give you the number to the office of Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis.
She will make make sure they get paid “fairly”.

The reason those questions are on application is that companies must file reports with the government that requires them to show that they are not discriminating against any race, male/female or veterans when hiring.
When companies send in their reports they are compared to what the government shows as the local population. That population is one of the uses of the census that was just taken.

Companies are supposed to show "good faith" efforts to hire minorities. That is, if they have a white male applicant and a minority applicant who are equally qualified they're supposed to hire the minority. The only way they can prove that is to ask the race of all applicants. You are not required to answer the question, however.
