We represent the Latina, who is 45% of the total female population in San Diego County. The demographics we serve are Entrepreneurs, Executives, and Corporate Professionals, who are Key Influencers that impact behavior in the community. Latinas are the fastest-growing demographic in the country and are achieving higher education at record numbers. They are also starting more businesses than their peers. Latinas are a key growth engine of the U.S. economy. 86% of Latinas are the primary shoppers in the household, so they control the lion’s share of the $1.4 trillion in annual Hispanic buying power. The epic increase of U.S.-born Latina females represents the nation’s future workforce that will be bicultural and bilingual.
