The digital divide threatens job loss for Hispanic workers

A large portion of the Hispanic workforce is concentrated in low-paying jobs. With more than 90% of today’s jobs already requiring digital skills and only 55% of Hispanics having none to low digital skills, this workforce faces significant job loss in the future.
