Human Recursos - Just Ask Jacob

In this week's episode, host, Jacob Monty discusses COVID-19's devastating impact on the Latino community. COVID-19 has hurt the Latino community more than any other group in America. One need only look at the statistics in California, where 70% of all COVID infections were Latino. Yet, the state is only 39% Latino.

Listen as we discuss COVID-19 and its devastating impact on the Latino community and the strategies employers can take to increase Latino vaccinations.

Host, Jacob M. Monty, and guest host, associate immigration attorney, Maricela Alvarado discuss the different types of alphabet visas, H-1Bs, H-2As, H-2Bs, TNs, and the lengths desperate employers are willing to go to hire employees from abroad. Hosts discuss the difficulties associated with our broken immigration system and why it cannot solve the labor shortage. Although, the TN or NAFTA Visas do offer a glimmer of hope for US employers needing professionals from Mexico and Canada.
