WRAL, Capitol Broadcasting’s NBC affiliate in Raleigh, N.C., will air a documentary about the impact Hispanic immigrants are having in the state.
Land of Opportunity airs tonight at 7 on WRAL and co-owned WILM Wilmington, N.C.
The premiere can also be seen online at WRALdocumentary.com at the same time.
Hispanic immigrants make up nearly 30% of North Carolina’s workforce in farming, fishing and forestry, and about 20% of its construction workforce.
Many are college-educated and work in professional fields.
The overall buying power of all Hispanic immigrants contributes more than $10 billion each year to the state’s economy, and nearly half a billion dollars in state and local tax revenue.
Land of Opportunity profiles several successful Hispanic immigrants in the state and examines their contributions to North Carolina’s economy and communities.
The documentary tells their stories within the framework of the overall economic impact of Hispanic immigration to North Carolina.
WRAL Documentary is one of the only dedicated documentary units in local TV. Its mission is to provide in-depth coverage of topics and issues relevant to North Carolinians.
Here’s a preview of Land of Opportunity.
