Nunez represents both sides of today's construction industry. He typically puts in long days during the week and a half day on Saturday. He's a fast learner who picked up English and construction skills on the job. But his business relies on shortcuts and dodges of workplace law.

One of the more serious violations is not following a state requirement to buy workers' compensation insurance to pay medical costs for injured employees. Such insurance can be expensive and drive up the price a company offers customers, making the firm less competitive. Nunez said he plans to buy a policy soon."

Social scientists at the University of Memphis found that many local staffing agencies accepted low-quality fake identification, according to articles published between 2003 and 2006. Many agencies recruit workers by advertising in Spanish-language media and have bilingual recruiters." For text, source & machine translated source please click on the permalink above.

A city long divided by race now has another barrier that's perhaps even more powerful: language. Memphis is home to immigrants from countries ranging from Sudan to Vietnam, but Mexicans and other Latin Americans are by far the biggest group. Estimates of the metro area's Hispanic population range from 34,000 to 100,000, and about one in 10 babies born in Shelby County last year was Hispanic."
