A report from the Latino Donor Collaborative, highlighted the role that Latinos play in the U.S. economy. Latinos alone generated $1.6 trillion in GDP , contributing to an overall purchasing power for U.S. Latinos of $4.1 trillion. This data alone would make the Latino economy be the fifth-largest in the world if they were their own country. Dennis Hoffman, said his simulation he did will predict that total GDP could decline by $2.3 trillion or 7.7%. This article attributes this to higher workforce participation, growing entrepreneurship, and rising consumer spending compared to the rest of the nation.
California's GDP alone is on track to surpass the $1 trillion mark within the next few years. Along with that Modelo has taken budweiser to become America's No. 1 selling beer brand by capturing 50% of the Latino consumer market before being taken over this week by Michelob Ultra. Along with Modelo other companies have seen significant use like T-Mobile, Dr. Pepper and Kia. Along with Latinos spending much more on our economy baby boomers spending has dropped by 4% and Latinos are seemingly picking up that slack. While this data does show reason for concern it brings up the question whether what trump is doing is right or not for a future mass deportation.

$1.6 trillion GDP and $4.1 trillion buying power are impressive numbers. It's amazing to consider that the Latino economy would make the fifth-largest worldwide on its own. You can definitely feel the impact in everyday life as well, from the growth of California to the likes of Modelo, T-Mobile, and Kia thriving with Latino consumers. With baby boomer shopping slowing down, it seems like Latinos are propelling the U.S. economy. I wonder how future policies will affect this momentum, or if it will even be considered?
