Last year L'ATTITUDE continued the tradition of presenting an updated LDC U.S. Latino GDP Report, which reflects the significant impact of the U.S. Latino cohort in our New Mainstream Economy. This session presents the much anticipated 2020 report, presented by Ana Valdez, Executive President of the Latino Donor Collaborative, with Dr. Matthew Fienup, Chief Economist at the Center for Economic Research & Forecasting, Dr. David Hayes-Bautista, Chief Demographer at the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture, and Sol Trujillo, Co-Founder of the Latino Donor Collaborative and Co-Founder of L'ATTITUDE. This session will be moderated by Almar Latour, CEO of Dow Jones and Publisher of The Wall Street Journal.
The GDP Report provides a factual view of the large and growing economic contributions of U.S. Latinos. As the only analysis of its kind published each year, the report is based on calculations of major GDP components aggregated across more than 70 industrial sectors of economic activity. This introduction will provide a detailed, conservative, bottoms-up construction of the total economic impact of U.S. Latinos. You will learn if and how much the U.S. Latino GDP has grown from last year's reported $2.3 trillion, how the latest U.S. Latino GDP compares to the GDP of other countries, the growth rate since last year compared to the overall U.S. GDP growth, in addition to other revealing data.
This report establishes a data-driven understanding of the U.S. Latino cohort within the New Mainstream Economy and provides a fact-based platform for all of the sessions that follow during L'ATTITUDE 2020.
