   Some of the top risk factors or vulnerabilities to labor trafficking according to the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline 2019 Data report include: recent migration or relocation, unstable housing, criminal record or history, physical health issue, substance use. For more information follow this link. 

   Members of the CCHTTF’s Labor Trafficking Subcommittee have additionally identified the following vulnerabilities:
- involvement in the child welfare system
- unaccompanied minors and others impacted by a detainment or deportation-related family separation
- mental health issues
- language barriers – including language access for indigenous languages and dialects
- employment in industries which are less regulated or exempt from labor law, subjection to an employment (mis)classification or belonging to a workforce with inadequate worker protections.

    ​Every day in January, we posted content created by members of our task force to highlight the realities of human trafficking locally and nationally. Learn about the impact of COVID-19 on human trafficking, how to separate fact from fiction about how trafficking happens and become knowledgeable about recent cases, relevant research, policies and resources for survivors and advocates.
