Why don't you take a look at the percentage of whites to hispanics in the construction trade... nationwide. 20 years ago it was more whites than hispanics. Today, it's the opposite. Trust me, I know... I'm a General Contractor in CA. Does it bother me? Not one bit. I don't care who works for me as long as they put in an honest days work for their pay. I guess I'm now a bigot for pointing out the facts and employing some of them? Perhaps in California, but nationally, Hispanics are 17% of the construction workforce. I wouldn't know the percentage that is non- English speaking, but clearly, if you are a construction related retailer, bilingual signs make sense. http://www.cdc.gov/elcosh/docs/d0100...38/sect16.html |
