Summary: "This report contains ten powerful case stories of immigrant families from racialized backgrounds who are struggling to find stable employment in Canada. The stories are based on results from the third phase of a community based research project conducted by the Income Security, Race and Health (ISRH) team in Toronto. The stories reveal the multiple factors pushing racialized immigrants into precarious work including systemic discrimination, limited professional network, immigration related barriers, temp agencies, policy gaps, ineffective services, and conditions of precarious employment itself"--Page v.
