THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 24, 2021 Page 5 City marking ‘Malden Latino Businesses and Workers Appreciation Day’ on Sept. 24 By Steve Freker T he Malden City Council made it offi cial Tuesday night with a unanimous vote declaring today, September 24, as “Malden Latino Businesses and Workers Appreciation Day.” The recognition comes in the midst of National Hispanic Heritage Month, which is from September 15 to October 15 each year. The originators of the resolution included lead sponsor and Councillor-at-Large Stephen Winslow as well as co-sponsors Peg Crowe (Ward 1), Amanda Linehan (Ward 3) and City Council President Neal Anderson (Ward 7). Councillor-at-Large Debbie DeMaria also was added as a sponsor at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. “This is a resolution that recognizes an important cultural group in our community and is overdue,” Councillor DeMaria said. Councillor Anderson echoed her remarks. “As a city we should be recognizing the contributions of Latinx residents of our community,” he said. “They culture in this city is also Latinx, according to the latest Census fi gures, with Hispanic and Latino residents nearly doubling in number to 10.4 percent from 5.7 percent in 2010. Thank You... make up a large percentage of our workers in service industries and other parts of our economy and are highly valued.” In Malden and across the nation, the Latinx (Latino and Hispanic) population is the fastest growing of all cultures and now has 34.7 million in the workforce, now over 21 percent, nationwide. The Latinx workforce in the United States had tripled from 1988-2016 and has increased by another 30 percent in just the past fi ve years. Many Latino and Hispanic cultures are included, but nationwide, Mexican Americans make up the majority (61 percent) of the Latinx workforce.
