As some parts of the country reel from plummeting home values and a construction slump, many Hispanic workers have been forced to find other kinds of jobs — even in Oklahoma, where a more muted slowdown still means less work.
“I use to work for an independent contractor who did all residential. He had to completely switch things around,” said Darrel John, a 21-year-old roofer from Oklahoma City. “That’s why I came here.”
John, Terry Ladd, 47, Chris Sanchez, 31, and Mario Silvas, 41, are all now commercial roofers. For them, the key to keeping the bills paid has been skill versatility — from roof work to framing to tile work — whatever the job entails.”*
