Stanford GSB: Latino-Owned Businesses Outpaced Revenue & Growth Rates of White-Owned Businesses in 2022
From Palo Alto, California: The Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative at Stanford Graduate School of Business, in collaboration with the Latino Business Action Network, released the annual State of Latino Entrepreneurship research report last month highlighting the latest trends in Latino entrepreneurship in the U.S. According to the report, U.S. Latinos continue to strengthen the American economy by creating employer businesses at a faster rate than white-owned businesses and have outpaced the revenue and job creation rates of white-owned businesses and American businesses at large. The findings will be presented today at the annual SOLE Summit at Stanford GSB.
“The 8th annual SOLE report highlights the remarkable achievements of Latino entrepreneurs whose success is reflected in the rapid growth of new businesses, creation of jobs, and their ability to adapt business practices in the aftermath of the pandemic,” said Barbara Gomez-Aguinaga, PhD, associate director, SLEI. “Spotlighting the disparities between Latino and white business owners in accessing capital and government and corporate contracts provides the starting point to address these issues that prevent Latino business owners from reaching their full potential.”
The annual report is based on a national survey of more than 10,000 business owners — approximately 5,000 Latino-owned employer businesses and 5,000 non-Latino, white-owned employer businesses, which served as a benchmark comparison group.
