Extra Edition: Latinos: Targets of Scams.
According to recent findings, about 40% of Latino adults have been the target of a scam and one in five have lost money due to a scam. Latinos are often targeted by scams involving government imposter, utility scams, and grandparent scams. People also reported being victims of employment-related scams (fake job advertisements and work-from-home offers) and lottery-related scams.

Paid Leave for All. Despite public support, the United States is the only developed country in the world that does not have a national paid vacation policy, and currently only one in five US workers has access to paid leave through their employer. To bring the point home, a number of organizations began this week a nationwide bus tour in an effort to pass paid family and medical leave for all workers as part of infrastructure.
