“…Employed Latinas, whether farmworkers or working in other manual occupations, have higher average stress and anxiety scores than do unemployed Latinas. Stress among the Latina farmworkers and employed non-farmworkers is similar to that reported for women in farmworker families, one-third of who were not employed (Arcury et al 2015a). Stress among these employed women is considerably greater than that reported among male Latino farmworkers with H2-A visas (Arcury et al, 2015b).…”

“…In fact agricultural workers experience heat-related deaths at an annual rate that is 20 times that of the U.S. civilian workforce (2). Beyond experiencing adverse environmental conditions at their workplace, agricultural workers experience a high level of vulnerability due to socioeconomic disparities including decreased access to healthcare, separation from their families, low income, crowded housing often in poor condition, and little control over their work environments (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). While the threats of HRI in this population are well-recognized there have been few studies that actually capture the heat conditions of the worksite, nor have researchers assessed the validity to which environmental monitoring station reflect the temperatures at the worksite.…”

Parents struggle to take children to well-child care when many (61%) of these mothers work, but do not have paid sick leave (6.8%) or health insurance (7.6%); 28 few have spouses with paid sick leave or health insurance. 1 …”
