The Hispanic Economic Report:
Cathy Rodriguez Aguirre, President and CEO of the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, joins me to talk about the Hispanic Economic Report. This report, first produced in 2021, provides essential data on the growth, contributions, and economic impact of Hispanic-owned businesses in the Sacramento region. Cathy discusses the importance of localized data, the progress observed since the first report, and the value of this information for business owners and policymakers. Key findings include an increase in Hispanic homeownership, shrinking digital divide, and growing entrepreneurship. Cathy also highlights the collaborative efforts and partnerships that made the report possible and how stakeholders can access and benefit from it. Students at CSUS Sacramento played a role in the collaborative effort with the design of a mapping product as well.
