The labor force composition also changed, as companies began energetically recruiting Mexican workers. As a result the Mexican population of Nebraska grew by 155 percent between 1990 and 2000. Today 75 percent of Nebraska meatpacking workers are Mexican.

This is part of a major demographic shift, involving new destinations for Latino immigrants.

Since 1990 they have begun to shift away from border states such as California and Texas and move in much larger numbers to the Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast.

The restructuring of the meatpacking industry also generated lower wage structures; deskilling; much faster production line speeds; and, not surprisingly, much higher rates of injury.
