Latinos & The Economy

The Latino community has been a critical driver of the U.S. economy over the past decade, contributing to substantial growth in various sectors. The 2024 U.S. Latino GDP reached $3.6 trillion, making it the fifth-largest economy globally, just behind Germany and ahead of countries like India, the U.K., and France. It is projected to surpass Japan and Germany by 2027, highlighting the immense economic power and continued upward trajectory of the Latino community in the United States.

Latino-owned businesses are also on the rise, driving innovation and job creation. The Latino contribution is particularly strong in sectors such as manufacturing, retail, and construction. For instance, manufacturing alone added $457.4 billion to the Latino GDP in 2022, a significant 48.4% year-over-year growth​

With continued investment in Latino talent and business, the community’s role in the U.S. economy will only grow stronger. Opportunities like hotel ownership can be lucrative areas for investment, aligning with the trend of increasing Latino entrepreneurship and business expansion across various states.
