Latinos face a brutal reality: a record wealth gap exceeding $1 million, the highest ever recorded. This seven-figure disparity in average wealth cripples economic mobility. Systemic barriers including limited career opportunities and access to capital - technical, social, and financial - create a cycle of inequity. The result? Building wealth feels impossible for many Latinos, jeopardizing homeownership, education, healthcare, and future opportunities. For many, entrepreneurship is a path to wealth, and Latinos are starting businesses at record rates. But ownership lags far behind – only 11% of small businesses and 5% with employees are Latino-owned. Even fewer reach the crucial $1 million annual revenue mark. This "gap within the gap" needs to close for true economic equality. Can we close this wealth gap and unlock true economic equality for Latinos?
