Abstract:
The Hispanic population in the state is approximately 500,000. Many have found work in construction, agriculture, textiles, manufacturing, maintenance, and hospitality. Duplin, Lee, Sampson, Montgomery, and Chatham Counties have the highest percentages of Hispanics. To serve this growing population, a number of the state's electric cooperatives have hired Spanish-speaking customer service representatives.
