Sponsors
The opportunities and challenges of the future are clear. HispanicLatino purchasing power in 2010 reached more than $1 trillion. HispanicLatinos comprise 40% of all new workers entering the labour force. These significant demographic shifts in the marketplace and workforce will happen in tandem with the imminent retirement of the baby-boomer generation.
At the most basic level, businesses, organizations, and the government will need to hire qualified, educated workers to fill the impending labour shortage. All sectors of society must look to HispanicLatinos to assume positions of leadership as changes in the composition of the population transform society.
We welcome you to take action as an official sponsor and become part of our growing family of Conexionistas.
