Hi,
I am working on a project about Latino Day Laborers in New York
A working title is:
Trabajadores y Trabajadoras

Is this title correct interms of language, naming and context?
If not, please suggest a better title.
Thanks for your assistance.

Hi drewva!

The title "Trabajadores y trabajadoras" is correct, but in my humble opinion, I think that the context requires the substantive "obrero", so "Obreros y obreras" might sound more appropriate.

Shouldn't it be jornaleros seeing as how it's about day laborers? Not sure, though.

I think I'd prefer trabajadores y trabajadoras...

Jornaleros son, al menos aquí, los que trabajan en el campo en explotaciones ajenas, dado que les pagan por cada día de trabajo (el jornal). No sé cómo será en otros lugares.

Trabajadores y trabajadoras sounds ok, but we can't speak much about context since you haven't explained much.
