That was nearly a percentage point less than the unemployment rate of 5.9% in the fourth quarter of 2005.<\/li>\n<li>The decrease in the Hispanic unemployment rate continued a trend that began in the middle of 2003. On a seasonally-adjusted basis, the gap between the Hispanic and non-Hispanic unemployment rates is now only 0.5 percentage points.<\/li>\n<li>The Latino labor force added 980,000 workers between the fourth quarters of 2005 and 2006. That accounted for 38% of all workers added to the U.S. labor force.<\/li>\n<li>Employment for Latinos increased by 1.1 million, rising 5.9% from the fourth quarter of 2005 to the fourth quarter of 2006. Latinos, who were 13.9% of the U.S. labor force, represented 36% of the total increase in employment.<\/li>\n<li>Foreign-born Latinos continued to account for most of the increase in the Latino labor force (825,000 out of 980,000) and employment (853,000 out of 1.1 million).<\/li>\n<li>The unemployment rate for foreign-born Latinos was 4.2% in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared with 5.9% for native-born Latinos in the same time period. For both groups of workers the unemployment rate at the end of 2006 was well below the level a year ago.<\/li>\n<li>The employment rate for Hispanics workers, or the percent of the working-age population that is employed, increased from 64.6% to 66.1% from the fourth quarter of 2005 to the fourth quarter of 2006.<\/li>\n<li>The labor force participation rate among Hispanics, or the percent of the working-age population that is either employed or actively seeking work, increased from 68.7% to 69.5% from the fourth quarter of 2005 to the fourth quarter of 2006.<\/li>\n<li>The median weekly earnings of Hispanic workers increased 2%, from $420 to $428, between 2005 and 2006. This rate of increase was higher than for other groups. However, Hispanics still have the lowest median wage of any racial or ethnic group.<\/li>\n<li>The median weekly earnings of foreign-born Hispanic workers fell 3.1% in 2006, from $400 to $388.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"ede1d0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ede1d0;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6439 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2007\/03\/2007-construction-10-600x434.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"434\"><\/figure>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6440\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2007\/03\/2007-construction-11-600x358.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"358\"><\/figure>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"4b443b\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #4b443b;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6441 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2007\/03\/2007-construction-12-600x461.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"461\"><\/figure>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6442\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2007\/03\/2007-construction-13.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"530\" height=\"921\"><\/figure>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"ede1d0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ede1d0;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6443 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2007\/03\/2007-construction-14.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"531\" height=\"450\"><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This appendix presents data on the employment status and earnings of Hispanic and non-Hispanic workers at the end of 2006.
