Since 2017, when LDC first began measuring Latino GDP at $2.17 trillion, the U.S. Latino economy has grown at an impressive average annual rate of 4.4%. In fact, from 2015 to 2023, it doubled in size, far outpacing the 30% growth of the overall U.S. GDP during the same period, highlighting Latinos' outsized role in U.S. economic growth.
'The information in this report is critical for leaders across the country in business, investment, policy, and media,' said Sol Trujillo, Chairman of the Latino Donor Collaborative. 'The U.S. Latino cohort is one of the most powerful forces in today's economy. Anyone who wants to grow market share or drive innovation needs to start here.'
Preliminary key findings include:
The U.S. Latino GDP hit $4 trillion in 2023, doubling since 2017. It remains the second fastest-growing economy in the world, behind only China.
Latino purchasing power surged to $4.1 trillion, growing 2.4 times faster than that of non-Latinos.
Latino consumer spending reached $2.5 trillion, growing at 4.9% annually, more than double the non-Latino rate.
Latino Gross Domestic Income is growing 2.5 times faster than that of the rest of the country.
'This is not just a report, it's a strategic wake-up call,' said Ana Valdez, CEO of the Latino Donor Collaborative. 'The data tells a simple story: Latinos are driving U.S. growth.'

70% of U.S. Workers Want Robots To Help
Survey of 1,000 employees in the US MUNICH, June 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--US workers welcome robot technology in the workplace: About 70% think that robots help manufacturers to deal with the lack of factory workers ensuring competitiveness. Two-thirds believe the use of robots will help to bring industrial production back home. These are findings of the automatica Trend Index 2025. The study surveyed 1,000 employees in the US on behalf of automatica, the world´s leading trade fair for robotics and automation (24-27 June in Munich, Germany). The US government is actively working to bring industrial production back to the United States. As the world's most advanced manufacturing countries have shown, robots are the key to integrating automation into a factory: China has more than doubled the ratio of robots to factory workers in four years (2018-2022), and now ranks third in the world. Robot density in China reached 470 robots per 10,000 workers in 2023, compared to 295 units in the United States, which ranks tenth, according to the International Federation of Robotics. 2.1 million unfilled jobs The push for automation technology is strongly driven by labor shortages. The Manufacturing Institute (MI) predicts that nearly 2.1 million manufacturing jobs will go unfilled by 2030 due to a lack of skilled workers. The automatica trend index shows that US workers welcome robots to take over dirty, dull and dangerous tasks: A strong majority of 75% believe that robots reduce the risk of injury to humans by performing tasks such as heavy lifting. 73% see robots as an important solution for handling hazardous materials. 65% say robots will assist workers, allowing older people to stay in work longer. "Showing how robots can take over repetitive or dangerous tasks, while allowing workers to focus on higher-value jobs, is important for the successful integration of robotics into a factory workforce," says Patrick Schwarzkopf, advisory board member of automatica at Messe München in Germany. "Driven by a number of technological innovations such as artificial intelligence, easy-to-use programming or cost-saving efficiency, industrial robotics is becoming more accessible to companies than ever before. This will be demonstrated at the world's leading trade fair for intelligent automation and robotics 'automatica 2025' from June 24 to 27 in Munich, Germany.

Walker & Dunlop's Built-For-Rent Report Highlights Accelerated Growth
BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Walker & Dunlop, Inc. released its 2025 Built-For-Rent (BFR) report, that offers comprehensive market trends and analysis on the rapid expansion of this housing sector. As a leader in this space, Walker & Dunlop has facilitated over $3.4 billion in BFR financing and investment sales, providing expert guidance to developers and investors navigating this dynamic asset class. 'BFR has emerged as a fast-growing and highly strategic segment within multifamily real estate,' said Walker Harris, senior vice president and co-head of Multifamily at Walker & Dunlop. 'Fueled by evolving renter preferences, constrained for-sale inventory, and widening affordability challenges in homeownership, BFR presents renters with a unique option: purpose-built single-family homes combined with the flexibility of renting.' The report explores the current BFR market, the advantages and challenges of BFR investment, and the ways in which Walker & Dunlop facilitates strategic investment in the BFR space. Why BFR Demand Is Accelerating: A Shifting Renter Profile: Renters choose BFR for lifestyle and flexibility, enjoying home-like features without mortgage commitments. Supply-Demand Imbalance: Rental housing demand exceeds supply as population growth outpaces new single-family home construction. Affordability Gap Widens: Rising homeownership costs make buying less affordable, increasing interest in BFR communities. Rent vs. Own: A Compelling Cost Comparison: BFR renting often costs significantly less than owning a comparable home, offering notable savings. For owners and investors, BFR offers institutional-grade stability by combining single-family home appeal with multifamily management, leading to stable cash flow and higher occupancy rates around 96%. Its diverse product types—detached homes, townhomes, and horizontal apartments—allow tailored investment strategies, with single-family detached homes often commanding the highest prices for closely mimicking traditional homeownership. 'At Walker & Dunlop, we provide comprehensive capital solutions tailored to every stage of the Built-For-Rent lifecycle, from development and acquisition to investment,' said Keaton Merrell, managing director of Capital Markets at Walker & Dunlop. 'As the #1 Fannie Mae DUS® lender in 2024, we offer clients access to scalable, attractive financing alongside a broad range of debt and equity options. Our deep market expertise and expansive network enable us to deliver customized advisory services that help clients mitigate risk and accelerate execution.
