Recently in economics there has been discussion of how to increase diversity in the profession and how to improve the work life of diverse peoples. We conducted surveys and interviews with Black, Latinx and Native American people. These groups have long been underrepresented in the economics profession. Participants were at various stages along the economics career trajectory, or on the trajectory no longer, and used their lived experience to reflect on what helps and hurts underrepresented minorities in economics. We heard a few consistent themes: bias, hostile climate, and the lack of information and good mentoring among them. Respondents' insights and experience point toward action steps that you can take today to increase the presence and improve the work life of underrepresented minorities in the economics profession.

您如何才能在经济专业中提高黑人的影响力和改善黑人，拉丁裔和美国原住民的体验

最近在经济学中已经讨论了如何增加专业的多样性以及如何改善不同民族的工作生活。我们对黑人，拉丁裔和美国原住民进行了调查和采访。长期以来，这些团体在经济学界的代表性不足。参与者处于经济学生涯轨迹的各个阶段，或者不再处于轨迹上，并根据自己的生活经验来反思哪些因素可以帮助和伤害经济学中代表性不足的少数民族。我们听到了一些一致的主题：偏见，敌对的气候以及其中缺乏信息和良好的指导。受访者的见识和经验指向您今天可以采取的行动步骤，以增加经济学专业中代表性不足的少数民族的参与度并改善他们的工作生活。
