COVID-19/ECONOMY/HISPANICS: “Some economists are calling this what they call a K-shaped recovery. It means those at the top, they keep going up, their income. But everyone from the middle- and lower-income, it keeps going down, keeps getting worse.

Means that essential workers, so many of whom are Hispanic, who have sacrificed to keep us going through this pandemic, are being left behind by the most unequal recovery in modern American history. Because while workers are struggling, this is a shocking statistic, but it’s true, the top 100 billionaires in America have done pretty well. Just since the COVID crisis they have made an additional $300 billion.”
