DRIVING ECONOMIC GROWTH
An integral part of the US economy
According to the Department of Labor, Hispanics account for 82% of
workforce growth in the US* and are expected to account for 78% of net new
workers between 2020 and 2030**.
86% of all new businesses in the past 10 years were launched by Hispanics.
8 out of 10 new startups were launched by Hispanics.
Hispanic buying power has grown significantly in the last 30 years, from
$213 billion in 1990 to $1.9 trillion in 2020 (11.1% of total US buying power).
This is mostly attributed to population growth, entrepreneurial activity and
rising education levels**.
The largest Hispanic markets are California ($506 billion), Texas ($361
million), Florida ($208 billion) and New York ($139 billion).
It is also estimated that US Hispanics have contributed to 72% of
real consumption growth in the US***.
