The Center's new brief, A National Portrait of Hispanic Children in Need, examines the number and household circumstances of low-income children who may be in need based on their family’s economic resources and whether they are in deep poverty, poverty, or near poverty. It also notes the proportion of these children being served by some of the social service programs intended for them. Share this resource with your networks!

While the Great Recession had enormous negative impacts on many U.S. families, Hispanic workers were especially hard hit.

However, this stability was accompanied by a general downward shift in income among Hispanic families.
