Description
Filipino migrants make up a critical portion of Canada’s healthcare workforce, as nurses and care aides. They also have one of the lowest average employment incomes among groups designated as visible minorities.

Voices in this episode:
Dolie Anne Bulalakaw, assisted living worker
Valerie Damasco, assistant professor of sociology at Trent University.
Ethel Tungohan, associate professor of politics at York University
