Who are the day workers?

Day workers are among the most vulnerable members of the economy; the least paid, most unprotected, and most frequently injured members of the domestic work force and with the least access to resources.

They are front-line targets of anti-immigrant hostility and anti-soliciting ordinances, Day Workers on the street are often exploited by unscrupulous employers who take advantage of their lack of English and ignorance of basic rights. *From the article: On the Corner: Day Labor in the United States by Abel Valenzuela Jr, Nik Theodore, Edwin Meléndez; Ana Luz Gonzalez (2006)
