Latino-owned businesses added 180,000 new firms between 2017 and 2023, preventing a decline in U.S. business creation as white-owned businesses lost 140,000. Latino entrepreneurs generated more jobs and revenue growth than any other major racial or ethnic group, with the broader Latino economy approaching $4 trillion in annual output.
