California’s stifling environmental policies harming Latino workers as White middle class flees state: study [Video]

A new study shows that California’s Latinos are economically stifled by the state’s progressive climate policies, which affect industries like agriculture, construction, trucking and manufacturing.

Lead researchers at Chapman University’s Demographics & Policy department, including former Democratic state Sen. Majority Leader Gloria Romero, released the “El Futuro es Latino” report this week, first obtained by Fox News Digital. Researchers identified several areas where Latinos — classified by the state’s census data — face hardship in the state.

Soledad Ursua, the lead researcher of the project and member of the Venice Neighborhood Council in Los Angeles County, told Fox News Digital that her findings revealed that Latinos are “California’s youngest and fastest growing workforce, yet the state’s progressive policies have disadvantaged this group by reducing opportunities” because of the state’s regulations to achieve its zero carbon goals. 

Housing affordability and failures in California’s public school system were also included in the report.
