A new poll found that Latinos are far more likely than other demographic groups in California to worry that they or their family members will become infected with COVID-19.
that 61% of Latinos respondents were worried that they or their family members would get sick with the virus, compared with just 28% of Black and white Californians and 37% of Asian American residents.
Latinos also worry more about finances, with 56% saying they are concerned they or their family members will be affected financially by the pandemic. That compares with 31% of Black and Asian American poll respondents, and 22% of white respondents. Latino respondents also reported that their lives have already been significantly disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and that their mental health is suffering as a result, more so than the other demographic groups.The poll findings align with disparities Latinos are already known to be experiencing. Latinos make up nearly 39% of the state’s residents but represent 55% of its COVID-19 cases.
The reason could be that Latinos more often work in essential industries than other demographic groups and are therefore limited in their ability to work from home., Latinos make up just under 40% of California’s essential workforce. A previous poll from the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies found that the agriculture industry is about 85% Latino. Additionally, 42% of Latino respondents said they could work from home, versus 53% of Black, 59% of Asian and 61% of white respondents.
