    Like the U.S. population as a whole, Latinos are feeling the sting of the recession. Almost one-in-ten (9%) Latino homeowners say they missed a mortgage payment or were unable to make a full payment and 3% say they received a foreclosure notice in the past year, a new Pew Hispanic Center survey finds. Some 36% say they are worried that their own home may go into foreclosure. The recession has also seen a decline in the amount of money that Hispanic immigrants sent in the past year to relatives or others in their country of origin.
