This is misleading. Hispanics as a whole haven't risen very much (but are rising) because there's a consistent inflow of new immigrants. Many also also return to their home countries after making a decent chunk of money. So this gives the appearance of not being successful.
Populations of Hispanics that do stay in the US for larger stretches of time have been successful. Cuban Americans, for example, have higher than average incomes and education rates: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Americans https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Americans

- manfredo 8y agoSure, not compared to Asian American as a whole, but having incomes over the median is a significant sign of progress. After all by definition having everyone have an above average income is an impossible goal.
