Abstract: The outbreak of Covid-19 has shone a spotlight on the persistent inequities facing people of color across the nation, including those in New Mexico. The economic shock caused by the pandemic occurred at a time when low-wage workers in New Mexico were already struggling with flat paychecks and exorbitant costs for basic needs like housing and health care, with the vast majority of households having little or no savings for an emergency. Just like the coronavirus crisis itself, the economic crisis is hitting workers of color, particularly Native American workers, the hardest. They are experiencing more layoffs and greater financial hardship than White workers.
