A LETTER FROM HACR’S
INTERIM PRESIDENT & CEO The rationale is as simple as is it compelling. Hispanics constitute the largest ethnic sector of the population, are youngest among all major racial and ethnic populations, and have a higher labor force participation rate than any other group in the United States. Projections forecast by 2050, Hispanics will account for nearly 30 percent of the nation’s total population and over one third of the American workforce. Given these and related statistics, Hispanics are irrefutably positioned to be a major factor in the future of the country.
As we move further into the 21st century, Corporate America is becoming ever more aware of the importance of inclusion and diversity
Corporate America is increasingly aware of the correlation between Hispanics and profitability, as are they understanding of the dependence upon Hispanics as a consumer base and as a source of talent for the workforce today and more so, tomorrow.

ABOUT THE HACR
RESEARCH INSTITUTE The HACR Research Institute (HRI) is the research arm of HACR and is devoted to objective research, analysis, and publication of Hispanic-related issues in Corporate America. The goal of the HRI is to assess current trends and stimulate discussion on Hispanic inclusion in Corporate America. Through the HRI, HACR publishes annual studies on the state of the Hispanic community and corporate best practices in employment, procurement, philanthropy, and governance along with the HACR Corporate Inclusion Index. The research institute also publishes the Corporate Governance Study, and other independent studies conducted internally and through partnership with other leading advocacy organizations. By providing information on the status of Hispanics in Corporate America, HACR can focus on issues relevant to Hispanics and investigate solutions to the inequity that exists.
