The role of Latinos in the American job market is vast. Because of this “Latino workforce is growing daily. We, as immigrants, have a lot of opportunities to find a professional job that makes us happy”.
What is the reason for it? “Latinos were responsible for 78% of the net new jobs in the labor force since the Great Recession”. “Given the higher population growth of Latinos relative to non-Latino demographics, this demonstrates how important Latinos are, not only today but also in the economy’s future growth.”
Why Latino population is considered necessary in the US job market
- Despite our university grades being from our countries, all these degrees have a place in the US market.
- When we are hired for a specific role, our duties go beyond our particular responsibilities in our countries.
We usually perform more tasks around our specific job assignments if needed. It allows us to have the capacity to serve more than one job. - We can speak more than one language (Spanish and English).
- Culturally, we can work hard if it is the way to get what we want. That is our narrative. It is our story.
- We take the initiative to propose or suggest solutions when our job tasks need to improve. We are only comfortable with things that are working.
- It is not a secret. As Latinos, we migrate to the United States for economic reasons; we are looking for a better quality of life and a better salary, and we know that if it is our motivation, we don’t matter to work hard.
- “Another point that many Americans might find harder to accept; only 55% of the U.S. general market population believes that most people can get ahead with hard work”
These facts about Latino culture in the job market attract recruiters and hiring managers. They know that we are reliable and can be confident that we will deliver the task no matter the obstacles.
In conclusion, Latinos in the American job market can be successful, and the chances of being hired are high.
