Los Angeles, CA -- New data from leading researchers indicates that female Hispanics in the U.S. have contributed $1.3 trillion in 2021 to the gross domestic product (GDP), representing over 50% growth in a decade The U S Latina GDP Report, funded by Bank of America, is first of its kind research on the significant and rapidly growing economic contribution of the nation’s Hispanic female population. Led by professors Matthew Fienup, Ph D , California Lutheran University, and David Hayes-Bautista, Ph D, UCLA Geffen School of Medicine, the Latina GDP report found that U.S. Latina GDP grew at 2 7 times the rate of the GDP of Non-Hispanics between 2010 to 2021 Today, the Latina GDP is larger than the entire economy of the state of Florida.
“This exciting body of work captures the positive growth and contributions that U S Latinas from multiple generations have been making to the U.S. economy, and confirms that Latinas are a driving force. We see similar momentum reflected in our overall business as well as many of the same key drivers found in our own research,” said Jennifer Auerbach-Rodriguez, Strategic Growth Markets & Client Development Executive, Merrill Wealth Management.
