Episode#2: Joe Peterangelo on Why Latino Economic Mobility Matters to Everyone

In this episode of Raíces y Realidades, we sit down with Joe Peterangelo, Research Director for the Wisconsin Policy Forum, to help us unpack the latest data on Latino income, poverty, and workforce trends in our region.

Joe breaks it all down—and makes the case for why inclusive workforce development is an economic necessity for our region.

If you care about economic growth or the future of work in Wisconsin, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Listen now and join the movement to make Milwaukee—and our region—a top 10 place for Hispanic well-being.
