Abstract:

Hispanic Women at Work is NCLR's first statistical brief to examine the employment status of the nearly 20 million Latinas living in the U.S. The brief shows the significant contributions that Latina workers are making, not only to the financial growth and security of their households, but also to the U.S. economy.
