Hispanic blue collars are usually foreign-born, Spanish-dominant, have lower educational attainment and consequently lower income than non-Hispanic blue collars. They are also a fast-growing population, mainly because of their high birth rate. This is reflected in a higher spending on apparel, footwear, groceries, kids’ products and utilities.
