Rachel Sheffield poses this interesting question @ Why Is The Latino Poverty Rate So High?
I personally know where households exist on five or six members all working at minimum wage just to get by.
It has been reported recently that the poverty rate among Latinos has reached 28 percent.
The number, based on a new poverty measure by the Obama Administration, should be interpreted with caution, as explained here and here. However, the overall point that more American Latino families, and Americans in general, are struggling to achieve self-sufficiency is troubling.
