Latino deaths at work increase

The number of Latinos who die in the workplace is rising, even though the overall amount of workplace related deaths is decreasing. According to a report by USA Today, the latest tally by the US Department of Labor shows more than 900 Latinos died in job-related accidents in 2007. That´s a 72 percent increase since 1992.
