While Latinos were particularly hard hit by the recent recession, new evidence indicates that they are benefiting from modest improvements in the nation’s economy.
Latinos as a group account for just 15 percent of the nation’s workforce, but they have “racked up half the employment gains posted since the economy began adding jobs in early 2010,“ according to Labor Department statistics cited by the Los Angeles Times.
The Labor Department figures show that of the 2.3 million jobs added to the economy last year, 1.4 million, or 60 percent, were filled by Latinos. The sectors where they gained a large share of jobs included hotels, food services, healthcare and manufacturing.
