Tackling Latinos’ digital divide
“The Hispanic Federation and Comcast NBCUniversal have partnered to help community organizations in 20 cities, including Philadelphia, battle the digital divide that sets Latinos behind in the workforce, Axios Latino reports.
Why it matters: Hispanics are significantly less digitally literate than white Americans, meaning they are less likely to know how to use a computer or have internet access.
Latinos make up 14% of the overall workforce but represent 35% of workers with no digital skills, according to the organizations.”
