I took my first economics course around 1963. Since then, our country has endured at least 5 major economic crises. Each of these crises was very different but they all shared at least once significant characteristic: They all hit Latino-Americans disproportionately hard.

If history is any guide, Hispanic-owned businesses will drive a large portion of the recovery. From 2007-12, the number of Latino-owned businesses grew by 3.3%. It doesn’t sound like much until you see that Non-Latino owned businesses declined by 3.6% during the same period.

I’m confident Hispanic entrepreneurs can lead us out of crisis again. Hispanic workers can power our recovery— potentially in an even bigger way than a decade ago— so long as we remove some of the longstanding barriers that have been in the way of prosperity.

Latino-owned businesses are not just creating jobs at a faster rate, according to #StanfordLEI they are more apt to provide their workers with health and wellness benefits, and above minimum-wage pay.
