Over the past decade, the number of Hispanic business owners grew by 34%, compared to just 1% growth among all business owners in the United States. Jacqueline is part of this wave of growth, transforming her career and expanding her Human Resources consulting firm with the help of Mi Casa Resource Center's Avanzando to Good Jobs program. After a friend's recommendation, Jacqueline enrolled in the program and gained valuable skills in her field, like developing job analysis, creating job descriptions and mastering interviewing techniques. With guidance from career coaches, she refined her resume, prepared for interviews and expanded her network, securing a contract position while continuing to grow her business. The program reignited Jacqueline’s confidence, inspiring her to pursue a Business Pathways Certificate at Metro State University. Now, with hands-on experience and new opportunities, she’s positioning her business for even greater success. We are proud to support programs that empower individuals like Jacqueline to transform their careers and contribute to the growing impact of Hispanic business owners. #UnidosUS

Mass deportations come with a massive cost. Deporting 8.3 million workers from key industries like agriculture and construction would: 📉 Reduce GDP by $5 trillion over 10 years 📈 Drive up food, housing and inflation costs ❌ Undermine job prospects for U.S.-born workers Instead of costly and ineffective measures, legalizing undocumented individuals can grow the economy and create jobs. Our latest blog explains why legal pathways are the best action. 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ewDgZABd #UnidosUS

Hispanic voters sent a clear message: it’s about the economy. 💰 Our latest poll shows Latinos prioritize wages, affordable living and relief for undocumented families — not mass deportations. Here’s our pocketbook issues data: https://bit.ly/4gvBpyk

Latinos are expected to account for 78% of net new workers between 2020 and 2030, yet many face persistent barriers when entering the workforce.
