Summary
Labor Day is an opportunity to recognize the importance of Latino workers to the American economy. As the fastest-growing segment of the workforce, Latinos are concentrated in occupations that frequently fall short on critical indicators of job quality, including employer-based health and retirement plans. This fact sheet shows the disparities Latinos face in the workplace, with an emphasis on the rise in fatal workplace injuries among Hispanic workers.
