McKinsey & Company's Hispanic & Latino Economic Forum (HLEF), in partnership with LCDA, is hosting our first virtual session of the year, The Economic State of Latinos in America: The Opportunity Gap, to share the results of McKinsey's latest research on this topic. In this session, McKinsey Senior Partner, Lucy Perez, will present the findings of the report, followed by a panel of LCDA members discussing how corporate directors, corporate leaders, and investors can utilize these findings to propel growth by investing in the power and potential of the U.S. Latino community.

There is a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity gap. The Latino community could be an even greater engine of economic growth in this country, if only more opportunities were available to them. One important finding: "In a situation of parity, Latino businesses could generate an additional $2.3 trillion in total revenue each year, and 735,000 new business could be created supporting 6.6 million new jobs."
