14、account for the fastest-growing portion of US GDP.So much so,that if we considered US Latinos as their own country,it would be third only to the GDP growth rate of China and India in the past decade.2 At a time of economic uncertainty with concerns about a possible recession growing,consumers are lo

15、oking for additional support.Our research estimates that the Latino consumer base has unmet needs of more than$100 billion currently,and this could grow six-fold to$660 billion if we address the parity gap between Latinos and non-Latino Whites based on share of population.Latino consumers are drivin

16、g growth while their needs go unmetOver the past decade,Latinos have grown their household consumption to reach a cumulative$1 trillion market in 2021a 6 percent annual growth rate over the last decade.Their household spend is higher compared to other groups at similar income levels,and yet marketin

17、g spend directed at Latinos most likely does not reflect this.3 Latinos are conscious of their impact,choosing brands that value the environment and their employees,all of which makes them more influential than their income levels would suggest.However,Latino consumers are often highly dissatisfied

18、with the products offered to themespecially compared to their non-Latino White counterparts.This dissatisfaction ranges across product categories,from food and beverages to financial products,which may point to unresolved needs that impact their daily life.If brands address the drivers of dissatisfa

19、ction in terms of access and value proposition,there is a collective$109 billion of revenue at stake,when considering current spending and future potential should improved products be offered.Latino voices remain underrepresented in the C-suites of corporate America where product offerings and capit

20、al allocation decisions are made,and this is particularly true of Latina women.As a result,Latino consumers are often overlooked by companies that do not recognize them as a priority demographic.Less than 5 percent of seats in Fortune 500 boards and in C-suites of corporate America are occupied by L

21、atinos despite this community representing 19 percent of the US population.4 Latina women hold 1 percent of seats in Fortune 500 boards,the smallest percentage of board seats compared to any racial or ethnic demographic in the US.5 Furthermore,Latina women may be further marginalized at work as desc

22、ribed in our latest Women in the workplace report.6 At the same time,Latinos have also been more heavily impacted by COVID-19 and inflation than other populations,and this has exposed their vulnerabilities.Consequently,Latinos are expected to change their consumer spending and take aggressive action

23、 to switch to brands that better meet their needs.Companies that support Latino consumers by optimizing value propositions and tailoring their marketing and sales strategies have a singular opportunity to capture the potential this growing market represents.2 Dan Hamilton,et al.,“2022 LDC US Latino

26、tch their spend to their share of population,Latino consumers would spend around$554 billion more than today.Closing this gap would require addressing the underlying income and savings gaps between Latinos and non-Latino Whites.Employers and society at large have much to gain from providing Latinos

27、with better jobs that also provide advancement and leadership opportunities.In pursuing greater prosperity and fulfilment,Latinos increased their share of professional roles to 25 percenta five percentage point gain over the past decade.However,Latinos still face barriers in the workplace,through di

28、scrimination,implicit biases,or a lack of opportunities for advancement in new roles.In fact,if Latinos were represented at job levels in line with their share of the population,and paid the same as non-Latino Whites,they would receive an additional$281 billion in annual income that could be further

29、 deployed to drive economic growth.7 Latino savers have only a fifth of the median wealth of their non-Latino White counterparts,and their savings have been depleted;today,almost half of Latinos have little or no retirement savings.Only 23 percent of Latinos are considered financially healthy in 202

30、2 compared to 35 percent of non-Latino Whites.Nevertheless,Latinos net wealth is increasing at a faster rate(9 percent for Latinos,versus 4 percent for non-Latino Whites),narrowingbut not yet closingthe gap with non-Latino Whites.If the trend continues,Latino households could reach an average net wo

31、rth of$47,000 this year.While Latinos have about half as much debt as non-Latino White counterparts,this may be because they find it difficult to access appropriate financial products.Latinos are 1.7 times more likely than non-Latino Whites to be turned down for a loan,and 30 percent are unbanked or

32、 underbanked compared to 12 percent of their non-Latino White counterparts.8 For financial institutions,this is a significant opportunity to address an underserved consumer market.Investing in Latino entrepreneurs is a key part of the answerLatinos are the most entrepreneurial group in the US econom

34、sses lower representation in fast-growing economic sectors,limit their expansion and their opportunity to contribute to a more diversified product offering that meets the needs of American consumers.If Latino businesses access to capital were improved,and their representation in growing sectors incr

35、eased,they would contribute an additional$2.3 trillion in revenue to the economy and create 750,000 new employer firms,resulting in more than six million jobs.10 Interventions to improve access to funding,both from financial institutions and procurement-led organizations,and investments in digital c

43、ad bias.Over the past year,it has become clear that Latinos are also uniquely vulnerable to income disruption.When COVID-19-associated lockdowns began to be implemented,Latinos found themselves in a precarious position:they were more concentrated in low-wage occupations than non-Latino Whites.11 As

44、a result,almost 60 percent of Latinoswho are overrepresented in industries most impacted by COVID-19,such as hospitalitylost their jobs or had to take a pay cut,and they are now more vulnerable to high inflation than other groups.The longer-term challenges Latinos face have been compounded recently

45、by the triplicate effects of COVID-19,supply chain disruptions,and high inflation affecting Latino businesses operations.Altogether,60 percent of Latino-owned businesses had to reduce or modify their operations during the pandemicto such a degree that some could not survive without government assist

46、ance.Fortunately,80 percent of Latino businesses had stabilized their sales back to 2019 levels by the second half of 2021.Our latest findings point to other welcome signs of agility among economically active Latinos.Over the past year,they have increased their share in professional occupations,rais

47、ed their net worth faster than their non-Latino White counterparts,and shown their mettle as the fastest-growing minority entrepreneurial group.As consumers,Latinos already represent a$1 trillion market,and their spending power is rising(6 percent compounded annual growth in the last decade,compared

48、 to 3 percent for the non-Latino White population).12 Latinos have been making significant strides over the past decade,and even more recently in the aftermath of the disruption presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.Nevertheless,deliberate intervention is necessary to close the gap and fuel a stronger

49、US economy.If companies,investors,nonprofits and philanthropists,and policymakers act now,they can address the barriers that hinder full economic participation by Latinos.The right combination of structural and immediate interventions can accelerate Latino economic advancement and prosperity.Action

117、c state of Latinos in the US:Determined to thriveLatino consumption patterns:Strategic spenders,socially aware,and social media savvyThere is also a$554 billion gap in Latino consumption based on the discrepancy between their total expenditure as a share of overall US spending and their share of pop

118、ulationand closing this gap would require improving Latino income levels.This is in addition to the$109 billion of spending at stake that arises from Latino consumer needs going unmet,discussed above.Understanding how Latinos consume,and how their behavior differs from non-Latinos,will allow society

119、 to close this gap and realize the benefits.Latinos tend to be careful and strategic spenders,and,despite having a lower average income than non-Latino Whites,are discerning consumers with a high level of attention for sustainability considerations when making a purchase.22 They are,overall,conserva

120、tive and conscious spenders.Latinos spend a greater proportion of their income on essentials compared to their non-Latino White counterparts(40 percent compared to 33 percent).Survey data shows they tend to be more price-conscious than the general US population,feel more financial pressure,and activ

121、ely look for savings and deals.23 Almost half of Latinos are actively looking for ways to save money,above the national average of 44 percent.They are also more willing to switch to less-expensive products to save costs(34 percent compared to 27 percent of all consumers),and more than a third of Lat

122、inos actively research the best promotions when seeking to make purchases(35 percent compared to 29 percent of all consumers).Moreover,this price-conscious behavior supports the finding that Latinos in lower-income households(representing the majority)tend to spend less per person than their non-Lat

123、ino White counterparts.As a result,Latinos,like non-Latino Whites,are increasingly looking for ways to save money.They pay similar attention to prices when shopping compared to non-Latino Whites(47 percent compared to 45 percent).Latinos may be willing to spend more on products they care about,while

124、 finding cheaper alternatives for those they are less invested in.But Latinos may also be under more pressure to save money because of their larger average household size,which necessitates greater spending on essentials.Latinos are comfortable shopping online and are engaged consumers.They are more

125、 conscious of sustainability considerations and are more likely to factor in such considerations when making purchases than the general population.24 Social issues and organic products are particularly important to them compared to the general population(a 12 and 14 percentage point difference respe

126、ctively).In total,82 percent of Latinos report that they use omnichannel(online and in-store)and e-commerce platforms,compared to 80 percent of the overall population.25 Social media can be a powerful influence on consumer behavior and its effects are more pronounced in Latinos than in the overall U

127、S population.Latinos of all age groups are more likely to be influenced by social media when making a purchase,with 68 percent of them reporting that they are nudged toward certain brands by social media posts compared to 47 percent overall among US consumers.26 Correspondingly,Latinos have a higher

128、 average level of social media engagement than non-Latinos across all major social media platforms.For instance,89 percent of Latinos use YouTube at least weekly,compared to 75 percent overall.2722“Consumer survey,”McKinsey,August 2022(n=4,400).23 “Consumer sentiment survey,”McKinsey,2021.24“Consume

131、spectively,in the percentage of respondents who were influenced by social media in purchases in these categories.28Latino consumers are also much more likely to be influenced by brands and celebrities posts on social media,and documentaries,compared to non-Latinos.Half of Latino consumers said they

132、were inspired to purchase by these sources,compared to a quarter of non-Latinos.29 Latino consumers are feeling the inflationary pinch The COVID-19 pandemic hit Latinos hard and inflation is compounding the impact.In response,almost 80 percent of Latinos are taking action to manage their expenses du

133、e to inflationary pressures,compared to two-thirds of non-Latino consumers.30 This may include reducing savings,increasing credit card balances,taking on more hours at work or a second job,and skipping bills or paying less than the minimum due.Latinos pre-existing price-conscious behavior has been e

134、xacerbated by high inflation.A fifth are planning to cut back on spending,compared to 14 percent of non-Latino Whites,while 82 percent are trading down across categories,compared to 74 percent of non-Latinos.31 This includes adjusting the quantity or pack sizes purchased,delaying purchases,switching

135、 to a cheaper brand,and taking on more debt by using“buy-now,pay-later”services(a strategy that is more prevalent among Latinos than the general population by 11 percentage points).Overall consumption is expected to fall across the board,with Latinos cutting back more than non-Latino Whites.Total co

136、nsumption is predicted to drop by 7 percent among Latinos,compared to only 1 percent in non-Latino Whites.32 The fall in Latino spending could account for an aggregate loss of$80 billion,close to the expected effect of reduced consumption among non-Latino Whites,at$100 billionthis despite non-Latino

137、 Whites having six times the aggregate consumption of Latinos.Non-essential categories will be particularly hard hit,even after sustaining a drop in spending due to COVID-19.Although overall spending,which dipped in 2020,has now mainly returned to 2019 levels,essential goods account for a larger sha

138、re than previously.Going forward,Latinos are predicted to reduce their spending at three times the rate of the general population for essential categories,and five times for non-essentials.33 They are likely to pull back on non-essential spending by 10 percent but will only drop spending by 3 percen

139、t for essentials.34 To reduce their spending,consumers across the board are responding to inflation by choosing private brands across categories.Overall,48 percent of customers who noticed inflation changed brands,and,of this,the switch was to private brands 38 percent of the time.Latinos reflect th

175、 percent actually received career opportunitiesa 30 percentage point difference.41 Latinos across all levels in the workplace are also less likely to have sponsors or mentors.Latina women are further disadvantaged by their gender,as McKinseys Women in the workplace report makes clear.For every 100 m

177、less than half of Latinas and Black women say people on their team arent penalized for mistakes.Just 27 percent of Latinas say a senior coworker has advocated for a raise for them.42 In addition,Latinos tend to lose representation in job levels that require greater soft skills,such as sales,negotiat

178、ion,and management.Narrow and inconsistent definitions of interpersonal skills,as well as possible cultural and language differences and workplace biases,could be hindering their progress.Research has found that many employers consider Latinos to be lacking in interpersonal skills compared to their

179、peers.43 Despite increased calls for board diversity and a strong case for the business value of diversity,less than 5 percent of board seats in Fortune 500 companies and C-suite positions are occupied by Latinos.44 In order for their leadership representation to match their share of population,this

188、rely more heavily on close friends and family.By seeking out mentors and sponsors within their industry and across industries,they can benefit from guidance and coaching.Such mentors could include people who have enjoyed career success,and ideally they would make mentees aware of scholarships and ot

189、her opportunities that can reduce the financial burden for advanced degrees such as law and medicine.By joining employee resource groups and professional associations,Latinos can also benefit from career development and skills training programs.Companies can also play a role,by offering mentorship a

190、nd reskilling programs,and by ensuring employee resource groups include professional development in their initiatives.Finally,Latinos can commit to mentoring and sponsoring the next generation,passing on their advice and helping others succeed.Latinos are looking for opportunities to make their mark

191、Latinos are eager to advance in their careers and are looking for opportunities to make their mark.Organizations and firms with a long-term vision and commitment to growth,backed by proactive,deliberate,and sustainable actions,are helping them close these gaps.We have outlined four broad opportuniti

192、es where companies are already taking action.Corporations and Latino-focused institutions are partnering to support Latino talent attraction.For example,the Association of Latino Professionals for America(ALPFA)partners with corporations and hosts an annual career convention.This organization,establ

193、ished in 1972,was the first national professional body for Latinos and offers educational support programs,workforce development,and leadership skills development and opportunities.48 According to its website,the ALPFA has more than 100,000 professional and student members across the US,who have acc

194、ess to more than 50,000 paid summer internships via hundreds of Fortune 1000 corporate partners.Latinos are looking to re-skill to advance in their careers.Organizations are offering renewed educational programs with a strong focus on digital and analytics.The Latino Center of the Midlands education

202、o entrepreneurs have deep family roots,with a quarter saying they started a business to provide a legacy for their families.However,they experience lower levels of sales and profitability than their non-Latino White counterparts,and receive less funding.Access to capital and better representation in

203、 growing sectors remain some of their main challenges72 percent of business owners rely on personal savings,family,and friends for funding.53 A change in the status quo would be greatly beneficial:if Latino businesses could access capital and expand into lucrative sectors,$2.3 trillion in revenues a

204、nd more than 6.3 million jobs could be added to the economy.54 The Latino business owner:an entrepreneur at heartOver the past two decades,Latinos have become the most entrepreneurial group in the US,with the number of new Latino entrepreneurs increasing by of 3.1 percent every year since 20011.6 ti

205、mes the rate of new entrepreneurs compared to non-Latino Whites.This is equivalent to an 86 percent increase in the rate of new entrepreneurs between 2001 and 2021.55Yet this entrepreneurial spark is not necessarily reflected in business ownership statistics.While Latinos make up 19 percent of the p

206、opulation,they own only 6 percent of the approximately 5.8 million employer firms in the US,and 15 percent of the 26 million non-employer firms or sole proprietors.An accurate demographic representation would see Latinos owning at least three times the number of current firms and creating about 750,

207、000 new employer firms.56 Latino businesses are predominately in lower-growth industries Since 2007 there has been a reasonably stable share of Latino-owned firms across sectors,with growing representation in the construction,accommodation,food services,professional,scientific and technical services

300、,and employers.Over the past year,it has become clear that Latinos,for various reasons,are also uniquely vulnerable to income disruption and predatory lending and are likely to curtail their spending more sharply than other groups.By acting now,Latinos can be supported through instability while buil

301、ding their resilience to deal with future shocks.They have already demonstrated resourcefulness,hard work,and creativity;now,by acting in their favor,companies can remove barriers to full economic participation.Two types of actions are needed.Committing to structural interventions that allow Latinos

302、 to compete on a more even field would build a fairer and more prosperous economy to help them close the gap in income and consumption levels.But at the same time,immediate,tactical interventions are needed now to protect Latinos as they manage tighter budgets and resources.Our previous report,publi

303、shed last year,remains relevant as it highlighted a large and growing minority who in many ways embody the American dream of equal opportunity,rewards for hard work,and rising prosperity over generations,but for whom that dream was deferred.Since then,for many Latinos,the situation has worsened as t

304、he impact of inflation further strains resources and budgets.Issues such as wage disparity,lower representation in higher-paid positions,access to capital for business owners,and a lack of willingness to invest in these businesses continue to headline in the 2022 report.As a result,the structural re

305、commendations we proposed in 2021,such as better compensation and reskilling for workers,increasing access to capital,and financial inclusion to boost Latinos wealth-building,are more urgent than ever.These should be coupled with short-term interventions that respond to the current economic instabil

306、ity.By acting now,Latinos can be supported through instability while building their resilience to deal with future shocks.45The economic state of Latinos in the US:Determined to thriveBoxThe cumulative cost of hardshipOver the course of the report,we have identified sizeable gaps in opportunity,reve

307、nue,and spending between Latinos and non-Latino Whites,which together impact the wealth of Latino savers.Less money in means less money out.Latino workers receive$281 billion less than non-Latino Whites,as they are more likely to work in lower-paid jobs and be paid less than non-Latino White peers.1

308、 Latino businesses make half as much revenue as non-Latino White businessesagain,as they are concentrated in lower-performing industries,with less access to capital,and are smaller in size.Additionally,there are fewer Latino-owned businesses than would be expected based on their share of population,

309、which deepens the divide and results in a revenue gap of$2.3 trillion.2This lower income relative to population,among other reasons,results in a consumption gap of$554 billion between Latino households and non-Latino White counterparts.However,despite this lower overall consumption,Latinos are a for

310、midable force in the marketplace.Latino households spend more than their non-Latino White counterparts at the same income level,yet their needs are not being met by brands to the same extent as non-Latino White households.Mind the gaps:Six ways to boost Latino prospectsAcross the four lenses of Lati

313、 to prosperity.Representation:unlocking decision-making powerLatinos remain underrepresented in the boardrooms and C-suites of the most powerful companies in the US,making it more likely that decisions around product development,marketing,and supply chains overlook the needs of this key population.C

320、experiences and more inclusive decision-making within companies,which ultimately impacts the range of goods and services offered to consumers.Rapid remedies,mainly focusing on the impact of COVID-19 and inflation,could include:Augmenting structural interventions with shorter-term and affordable resk
