After a series of days in which there was uncertainty regarding the results of the elections in the United States, on Saturday, November 7th around 12:00 hours, the great difference in votes between one candidate and another was revealed, so the victory of former vice president, Joe Biden, was imminent.The Democrat has become the 46th president, in addition to being the oldest leader to receive the office, which is surrounded by many unknowns about the changes in the reforms imposed by now former president Donald Trump and how this could affect or benefit more than 32 million Latino immigrants.
The current Coronavirus pandemic has affected Latino and Afro-descendant employment in greater quantity and with more force, in addition to causing an economic recession, so the Latino vote towards the Democrat was an important factor for his rise to power; but, what can Latino workers in the United States expect from the new leader and his policies?It should be noted that if you as a Latino immigrant are currently unemployed and need to request economic support from the government or take action for unjustified dismissal, the electoral process does not represent a brake to carry out your process since the supports will not be stopped.If you seek to make a request in a clear and effective way, the ideal is to approach a labor attorney who can guide you for free and later handle your case.

Economic Solutions in Support of Workers in the United States:
The newly elected president of the United States, Joe Biden, has specific actions regarding workers and where some turn out to be quite similar to those that Donald Trump offered, such as:
- The extension of unemployment insurance for coronavirus and negotiating with Congress a new package of financial aid, for an indefinite amount.
- Plans to increase the minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 dollars per hour and avoid cuts to social security, end the lowest salaries for workers, including people with disabilities, for whom there are payments of around 7 dollars per hour.
- Will increase taxes on capital gains and corporations; promises to avoid a greater tax burden for those earning less than $400,000 dollars per year.
- States that it will respect the independence of the Federal Reserve to manage interest rates.
One of Joe Biden's main commitments has also been economic assistance, where in seeking to reduce illegal immigration from Central America, has promised to make investments of around $4 billion dollars in the region where more job sources can be created, seeking to ensure that Latinos do not have the need to seek "the American dream".
The campaign of the now elected president of the United States, Joe Biden, designed an economic plan called "Build Back Better" of 700 billion dollars aimed at promoting American manufacturing through the purchase of national products; an idea that, according to his calculations, would generate more than five million jobs in those sectors.Similarly, it seeks through fiscal policy to generate the necessary stimulus to promote technological innovation, reduce the dependence on other countries like China, achieving a "rebuilding of the middle class" with tax policies that help small and medium businesses.
Undoubtedly, Latinos residing in the United States and the world population in general hope that the reforms are beneficial, fair and safe for those who need it most, mainly for those who today have been harmed by the health emergency caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.In the face of any injustice or search for legal support, remember that at Conexión Legal we have Hispanic attorneys, labor attorneys, personal injury attorneys, etc., always willing to protect your interests.
