Latinos Lack Job Security Despite Job Growth
Latinos Lack Job Security Despite Job Growth, Report Says
Published March 08, 2011
Despite "significant" job growth in sectors with high Hispanic participation, Latinos face ever greater job insecurity, according to a report released Monday by the National Council of La Raza.
While Latinos "are making important contributions to the industries that are helping drive our economic recovery," they remain "in a precarious position when it comes to keeping their jobs and advancing in the labor market," Eric RodrÃ*guez, NCLR Vice President of Research, Advocacy and Legislation, said in a statement accompanying the report.
Citing Labor Department statistics, NCLR notes that the service sector contributed most of the 192,000 jobs created in January and February, especially in areas of high Latino representation such as administrative services and waste management, nursing, residential care facilities for seniors and truck transport.
In 2010, Hispanics made up 17 percent of the labor force in the area of home nursing care, and 15 percent of general nursing and residential care facilities. At the same time they made up 29 percent of storage services, 21 percent of "transportation support activities," and 16 percent of the truck transport sector.
However, February was the third consecutive month during which Latinos exited the workforce, which probably contributed to the slight lowering of their unemployment rate to 11.6 percent in February, compared to 11.9 percent the month before.
According to NCLR, the surveys show that a lack of well-paid jobs prompts many Latinos to give up looking for work altogether. Between January and February, 187,000 Latinos left the work force completely because they couldn't find jobs.
A joint survey by the Washington Post, Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University said that 33 percent of Latinos expressed "anxiety" about job security, compared with 22 percent of African Americans and 20 percent of whites.
NCLR, the country's largest Hispanic civil rights organization, recommended that the government adopt measures to improve the quantity and quality of employment in poor communities, where the lack of formal education and job training is more obvious.

La Raza is in denial. If you are illegally here it is more difficult for you to have a job. Just being Latino does NOT entitle you.
