Tapping into the Latino Talent Pool and Consumer Market
U.S. Census data show that Latinos are the fastest-growing ethnic group, representing the largest minority in the country. Today, there are approximately 42 million Latinos in the United States, which represents approximately 1 in every 8 residents – by 2008, 1 in every 5 will be Latino. The buying power of Latinos in the United States today stands at more than $800 billion. This will rise to more than $1 trillion by 2008. Dr. Robert Rodriguez, Chairman of the Board for the Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement, will answer questions regarding how businesses can best respond to this demographic shift and the growing economic power of Latinos on Wed., April 19 at noon EST.
