More Hispanics die on job than other U.S. workers

According to Dr. Sherry Baron, who studies health disparities for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the figures aren't surprising.
"Hispanics are working in riskier jobs where they have inadequate training and supervision, and this is exacerbated by the language barrier and low literacy levels, especially for foreign-born Hispanics," Baron said.
