The “Latinx Effect”
The growing importance of hispanic americans in the U .S. Economy is attracting increasing attention from economists and other analysts. Latinos are growing as a proportion of the workforce, and the latino population is younger, more likely to be employed and, by many measures, more entrepreneurial than the population overall. Prior studies have assembled a broad array of data and analysis to demonstrate the importance of latinos to America’s current and future prosperity – a phenomenon sometimes referred to as the “Latinx Effect.”
