Recent votes in the United States have generated a wave of tension and doubt regarding the results. After the presidential elections were held on November 3rd, one of the greatest controversies has revolved around the political differences of the candidates and their proposals mainly regarding labor laws.
Economics experts have declared that, regardless of who turns out to be the elected candidate to occupy the presidential chair, this person must have as a priority to amend the fractures that the labor framework has suffered in the United States. This is how Biden and Trump's proposals on economic and labor issues are the ones that matter most to citizens.
Just in New York, last November 617 thousand women, in particular Latinas and Afro-descendants, found themselves in situations of layoffs and forced to abandon their jobs due to the pandemic generated by coronavirus.

Regarding Economic Solutions and Support for Latino Workers Donald Trump Has Given and Proposed
Among other issues such as climate change, migration situation, legalization of abortion and foreign trade that former President Donald Trump seeks to maintain and obtain, one of the ones that most concern American citizens are the economic and labor ones.
These are the proposals and plans in progress that Donald Trump made during his term and those he suggests in case of managing to appeal the current results and obtain the desired reelection:
- He granted economic aid in response to the coronavirus crisis.
- He made extra payments of $300 dollars weekly to the unemployed.
- The extension and postponement of a benefits package that he approved at the beginning of the pandemic are still pending agreements with Congress.
- He proposes to cut the payroll tax that finances social security.
- He opposes raising taxes on capital gains and corporations, which benefited from the tax cuts he applied in 2017.
- He usually criticizes the Federal Reserve, raising doubts about respect for the central bank's independence in handling interest rates.
Economic Solutions and Support for Workers that Joe Biden Claims He Will Carry Out:
For his part, the Democrat and elected president, Joe Biden, has some proposals that are different and others quite similar to those of the Republican, among which we have:
- He maintains that unemployment insurance needs to be extended due to coronavirus and negotiate with Congress a new package of financial aid, for an indefinite amount.
- He proposes to increase from $7.25 to $15 dollars per hour the minimum wage and avoid cuts to social security and end the lowest wages for workers, including people with disabilities, for whom there are payments of around 7 dollars per hour.
- He is in favor of increasing taxes on capital gains and corporations; he promises to avoid a greater tax burden for those who earn less than $400,000 dollars per year.
- He affirms that he will respect the Federal Reserve's independence in handling interest rates.
The elected president must today emphasize that labor laws above all will always seek to protect the rights of citizens who are part of the American workforce, mainly Latino workers, so that in case of finding themselves in any situation of abuse or economic disadvantage by their employer, they can immediately go to a labor lawyer.
