Abstract: Macehualli is a Day Labor Center that operates in Phoenix, Arizona in an area known as Palomino. It is a meeting place and functions as a hiring spot where workers without permanent employment offer their skills to individuals and employers who are in need of temporary help. The center was established in February 2003 to provide a formal site where day laborers would be able to solicit work, thus keeping them off sidewalks and areas surrounding the neighborhood’s businesses. Six years after its opening, the center continues to the focus of both approval and criticism. Words: 872
