“Responding to concerns over the lack of data on Georgia’s fastest-growing community, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., released Latinos in Georgia: A Closer Look, a demographic analysis of Georgia’s Latino community, which grew almost 300% from 1990 to 2000. The report, produced by NCLR’s Georgia Latino/Hispanic Health Agenda and Leadership Project with the support of the Healthcare Georgia Foundation, Inc., examines the economic, education, and health status of Latinos in the state.
“This report clearly shows that Latinos are a growing and important share of the workers and taxpayers of Georgia and that the entire state’s economy depends on their well-being,” stated Janet Murguia, NCLR President and CEO. Unfortunately they are also a vulnerable population, often lacking health insurance and more likely to be in the lowest paying and most dangerous jobs.””
