Almost half of all Latina tipped workers live near or under the poverty line

More than one third of all Latina tipped workers live close to the poverty line, while 10.9% are indeed poor, a report by the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) showed.

The study, titled “One Fair Wage: Women Fair Better in States with Equal Treatment for Tipped Workers,” says Latinas face “disproportionately high poverty rates due to stagnant minimum wage policies.”
