Release of Latino GDP Report, Review of the State of Latinos in America
The GDP Report provides a factual view of the large and growing economic contributions of U.S. Latinos. As the only analysis of its kind published each year, the report is based on calculations of major GDP components aggregated across more than 70 industrial sectors of economic activity. This introduction will provide a detailed, conservative, bottoms-up construction of the total economic impact of U.S. Latinos. You will learn if and how much the U.S. Latino GDP has grown from last year’s reported $2.3 trillion, how the latest U.S. Latino GDP compares to the GDP of other countries, the growth rate since last year compared to the overall U.S. GDP growth, in addition to other revealing data.
This report establishes a data-driven understanding of the U.S. Latino cohort within the New Mainstream Economy and provides a fact-based platform for all of the sessions that follow during L’ATTITUDE 2020.

How a Latino Medical Group is Changing Healthcare
In its present form, if the US Healthcare system were a patient, it would be in critical condition. And the prognosis gets even worse, because if we don’t introduce some type of dramatic intervention relatively soon, we may have to call a priest to read this patient its last rites.
The question is this: Is there still time to turn things around and essentially salvage our nation’s healthcare system? The answer is yes. There is an effective treatment, but the remedy requires that we align clinical and financial outcomes, starting with underserved communities where the need is highest. Learn how a Latino-led medical group has proven to decrease mortality while controlling costs by fundamentally improving the U.S. healthcare system.
