So we're at the tail end of National Hispanic Heritage Month, but it's still not too late to celebrate these amazing facts and achievements:
1) Latinx businesses employ over 3 million people in the U.S.
2) This accounts for 4% of U.S. business revenues and almost 6% of the U.S. employment
3) In terms of new business starts over the past decade, Latinx businesses outpaced all other new businesses by a ratio of 34 to 1!
BUT, this pandemic, in certain marketplaces, has adversely affected many of those businesses in a disproportionate manner.
So please make it a point to frequent these fine folks who still put that shingle out every day.
It's good for us all...
