Location and Jobs
Most Latinos are divided between between Minneapolis, St. Paul, surrounding suburbs, and spread out of the Twin Cities. People work in Real Estate, technology, Law, architecture, and any jobs the can find. People who don't speak English tend to work in food companies, hotels, and hospital or janitor services.
Challenges
1 in 3 Latinos are younger then 18, which means large school population and work force. Latino worked face low pay, threats, and are abused of their Human and Civil Rights while at work.
