Fractures in the Foundation: Chapter 6

Abstract

Chapter 6: Rebuilding Job Quality for Latinos and All Workers. As this report has shown, the Latino workforce as a whole faces immense disparities in job quality compared to their peers. Indeed, much consideration and policy debate must be devoted to raising the level of employer-based health and retirement plan coverage among Latinos. Yet by focusing on protecting the wages and the workplace safety of low-wage and immigrant workers, it is possible to take steps to improve job quality for all workers.
