Day laborers, who wished to remain unidentified, wait for work at the North Hollywood Day Labor Center, in North Hollywood, California, on December 4, 2009. They are seated in front of the community vegetable garden sponsored by the center. Day laborers are workers in manual labor fields, such as home construction and painting, who solicit temporary work, often from public street corners. Day laborers are made up of American citizens, documented immigrants, and most commonly, undocumented immigrants, all of whom are unable to find other work or regular employment. A majority of the day laborers in the Los Angeles area are from Central America and are Spanish speakers. Photo by Jen Klewitz
