Latinx workers have endured worse economic outcomes from the pandemic than white workers due to a lack of remote-work access, steep job losses and pre-existing wage and health-care disparities, a new report says.

The virus’s economic impact fell particularly hard on Latina workers, who were overrepresented in the industries most devastated by COVID-19-induced shutdowns, according to the analysis by the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank.

Darn white people.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Latinx is nothing but grammatically incorrect Spanish.

[TexasM1A]

Doesnt have anything to do with the fact that a lot of Latinos live in multi generational households, nah it’s all racism of some type.

[Rurudyne]

Crap happens.

Also, many would rather go to their prayer meetings or birthday parties or beer-drinking gatherings than sit around, alone, with masks on being frightened.

[Altura Ct.]

Whitey is at it again.

[Larry Lucido]

How the hell do you even pronounce that?

[LIConFem]

What the #@%$ is a “Latinx”??

[AC86UT89]

It is spelled Latino.

[Seruzawa]

Women and Latinx hardest hit. Film at 11.

Everything is a shakedown now.

[SaxxonWoods]

In terms of death, the pandemic has gone easy on Latinos, at least in Colorado:

Hispanic: 38.6% of population, 22.75% of deaths.

Caucasion: 36.87 of population, 62.80% of deaths.

I believe it is Lah-teen-ex.

[MtnClimber]

Gots to teach the Latinx how to catch and cook the great white long pork.

[ConservativeStatement]

Gender-neutral word for people of Latin American descent.

[TexasM1A]

Very true, big family and friends summertime bbq-s.
And try and stop a Quinceanera, yeah, that isnt going to happen.

[Tax-chick]

“Latin American” is in the neuter gender, as is “Hispanic.”

[Grampa Dave]

Simple, from now on the Latinixes only vote for republicans as at all levels of government.

[Eagles6]

Gotta push that Anti White racism narrative.

Can't win the election without it.

[cdcdawg]

Locally, well over half of our total cases are from the “latinx” community, and well over half of that community is illegal. Diversity makes us stronger, or does it make us sicker?

[Tax-chick]

It’s almost as if Latin Americans want to live their lives, the same as a lot of other people of every race, ethnicity, or national origin.
