- The coronavirus pandemic is not impacting Americans equally.
- Hispanic/Latino and Black Americans are feeling the economic consequences significantly more than white Americans, per a new survey conducted by the Harris Poll on behalf of the American Staffing Association.
- For example, 65% of Hispanic/Latino respondents are worried about making their mortgage/rent payments and 58% of Black people feel the same, compared to 44% of white Americans.
The economic fallout is hitting Hispanic/Latino and Black communities significantly harder than it is white communities, a recent national survey found.
Some 2,000 Americans were surveyed by the Harris Poll, on behalf of the American Staffing Association, in June. They were asked if they were having difficulty paying for things like rent, childcare, and student loans. In most areas, more Hispanic/Latino Americans said they were having trouble, followed by Black people, and then white people.
The results suggest the economic recovery from the pandemic may be much more difficult for non-white communities.
Here are the results of the survey in five charts.
