For example, 16-year-old workers accounted for almost 20% of the young worker fatalities in the construction sector between 1998 and 2002, even though workers 16 and younger are legally unauthorized to enter a construction site;[10] if they do work for the construction industry, they can only work in an office or sales department.[10] Additionally, Hispanic and Latino young workers made up 35% of the young worker fatalities in the construction sector.[10] Hispanics make up 14.4% of the United States' general population.[12]
