More and more Latinos are working, at least according to the U.S. Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics.The most recent numbers put Latino unemployment at a new low of 5.2 percent. And according to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center:

Unemployment rates between Latinos and “non-Hispanic whites” are now separated by a 0.6 percent margin.

The Pew Hispanic Center’s study also found that Latino workers accounted for about 40 percent of all the workers who joined the U.S. labor force in the last year. Their large numbers are partly due to the boom in the construction industry in southern and western states over the last year.
