New Study Shows Latinos Hit Hardest in Wage Gaps

A recent study produced by the Northwest Federation of Community Organizations, in conjunction with the Idaho Community Action Network (ICAN), examined wage gaps between whites and non-whites in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington state.

The results are staggering, especially for Latinos. Take a look at the data from Idaho:

--47 percent of Latino workers earn less than a living wage for a single adult, compared with 25 percent for white workers.

--82 percent of Latinos earn less for a single adult with one child, compared with 56 percent of white workers.

--92 percent of Latinos earn less than a living wage for a single adult with two children, compared with 70 percent of whites.

--88 percent of Latino workers earn less than a living wage for two adults (one working) with two children, compared with 65 percent of white workers.

The facts are painstakingly clear: the George W. Bush economy serves very few, and others, even less.
