Labor Day 2008: A Snapshot of the Latino Workforce
September 1st, 2008On Thursday, August 25th, 2008, the National Council of La Raza released a report on Latinos in the U.S. workforce and the effects of the economic downturn on job quality and safety.
According to the report, there are more than 20 million Latino workers in the U.S., accounting for more than 14 percent of the labor force. But despite that strong participation, Latinos are concentrated in occupations that frequently fall short on critical indicators of job quality, including employer-based health and retirement plans.
You can read the announcement in Phoenix Business Journal and download the entire report at NCLR’s website.
