Access HEREA new economic study, sponsored by RBC Capital Markets (RBC) and the Latino Donor Collaborative (LDC), challenges the narrative about Latinx-Americans, from a problem to be solved to an economic solution hiding in plain sight.
Access HEREWhen Sol Trujillo talks, people listen. And these days, the global executive and former CEO of telcom giants like US West, Orange and Telstra says Latinos are driving the growth of the U.S. domestic economy. Trujillo calls this phenomenon the New Mainstream Economy.
Access HERE“Making America Rich Again: The Latino Effect on Economic Growth.” No, it’s not a parody of President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign slogan. It’s the title of a new report written by Jeffrey Eisenach, SVP at NERA Economic Consultingand a member of Trump’s transition team.
Access HERESolomon Trujillo, Trujillo Group Investments, and Dr. Jeffrey Eisenach, NERA Economic Consulting, talk about the dramatic economic growth in the Latino community. Latinos are very entrepreneurial, says Trujillo.
Access HEREMuch demographic hoopla has been made about 10,000 baby boomers hitting the magic “retirement age” of 65 every day. But what about the million American-born Hispanics teenagers who hit 18 each year?

Access HEREIn 2006, Hazleton, Pa., became the center of the national debate about illegal immigration. Faced with an influx of immigrants, many of them from Mexico, it was the first city to pass local ordinances that banned hiring or renting to unauthorized immigrants. Although the courts eventually struck down the ordinances, Hazleton’s city council had accurately captured the fears that many Americans had about the wave of unauthorized immigration then coming from south of the border, fears that still echo in this year’s election campaigns.
Access HEREWe are business leaders and we are here to tell you a surprising truth: Latinos are big drivers of economic growth. Unless you run a retail business, you probably have no idea what we mean. Few on the campaign trail or in the media ever talk about Latinos and economic growth. The candidates and reporters have a hard time getting past immigration.
Access HERENPR’s Audie Cornish speaks with former government official Henry Cisneros and businessman Sol Trujillo, co-founders of the nonprofit Latino Donor Collaborative, which works to reshape the public’s image of Latinos.
Access HEREEconomic uncertainty and our unsettled politics lead the news today, but the most consequential business story is the one not told. It is the good news story of a group of Americans – Latinos – who have been quietly and increasingly powering U.S. economic growth, both as job creators and as consumers. As the U.S. population ages, and as we struggle against the headwinds of an anemic global economy, U.S. Latinos are forming the core of America’s New Mainstream Economy. A handful of simple facts tell the story.
Access HEREFour words have echoed through Trump campaign rallies and TV interviews these past many months: “Make America Great Again.” And clearly they’ve resonated with millions of voters. Putting aside the question of whether the slogan itself is a false narrative (“America is great already”)—or merely empty, jingoistic blather—it’s worth a moment to imagine how Trump might accomplish that goal. To ask: How can the U.S. compete and win in the world over the next decade?

Access HERELast week in Washington DC, Gil and Jacki Cisneros cut the ribbon on the Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute, a beautiful building in the middle of George Washington University! This Center was created by the university with the Cisneros’ generous $7 million donation last summer, with the goal of empowering Latino high-achieving students. Click here to view the article. I was honored to be present at the ceremony and at the special luncheon at the home of George Washington U. President Steven Knapp and his lovely wife. The luncheon gathered Latino and non-Latino leaders from all around the country to celebrate the center opening, and to congratulate Gil and Jacki. The best part of the event was Gil’s speech, when he talked about how he arrived to the school at 17, his journey since then, and his life-mission of giving back… there was not a dry eye in the room. Congratulations Gil!
