Presenters: Jorge Amar, Partner, McKinsey & Company and Lucy Perez, Senior Partner, McKinsey & Company

The McKinsey report reveals that Latinos in America are missing out economically and, in a situation of full parity, Latino businesses could generate an additional $2.3 trillion in total revenue each year, and 735,000 new businesses could be created supporting 6.6 million new jobs.
