The number of articles and books focusing on Hispanic workers has increased rapidly over the last several years, reflecting the remarkable growth of the Hispanic labor force itself. Two of the more interesting and thoughtful of these are Hispanics in the Labor Force and Inequality at Work. In some ways, the books are quite similar. Both analyze aspects of inequality, including the lower average earnings and incomes of Hispanics, their higher incidence of poverty and unemployment, and their disproportionate representation in low-paid jobs. The books also pay particularly close attention to inequality among Hispanics, highlighting socioeconomic diversity by national origin.
