About the Inaugural U.S. Latina GDP Report
The Inaugural U.S. Latina GDP Report builds directly upon six annual U.S. Latino GDP Reports released since 2018 as well as eight State and a dozen Metro Latino GDP Reports written in partnership with Bank of America. Those reports provide a factual view of the large and rapidly growing economic contribution of Latinos living in the U.S. and document substantial economic growth premiums enjoyed relative to Non-Latinos. These premiums exist across a wide range of economic indicators, and Latino economic premiums are large – for example, U.S. Latino labor force growth is 9 times faster than Non-Latino labor force growth. U.S. Latino GDP growth is 2.4 times faster than Non-Latino GDP.
Analysis of U.S. Latinas reveals that, in almost every case, the economic growth premium enjoyed by Hispanics females is even larger than the already impressive premium for all Hispanics. It is not enough then to say that U.S. Latinas are drivers of economic growth and a critical source of resilience for the broader economy. They are drivers of economic vitality. U.S. Latinas are giving life to the U.S. economy, dando vida a la economía.
