Thriving Young Latino Entrepreneurs in Washington . . .and Atlanta, Too
The Washington Post has an excellent article on probably the least understood and appreciated part of the Hispanic community: the rising young Latino entrepreneur. This group of twenty- and thirty-somethings, the Post reports, is thriving in Washington:
. . . About 13 percent of the more than 32,000 Hispanic-owned businesses in the Washington region are in professional areas such as technology, law, accounting, engineering and translation services. Some of the Latinos who run those companies say they operate in a bicultural society that extends from this region to Latin America, a world defined more by language, ethnicity and international connections than by geographic boundaries.
This same group is burgeoning here in Atlanta as well, and will continue to do so regardless of what the Georgia State Legislature or the U.S. Congress dishes out.
We believe this as much as we believe anything; we see them walk through the doors of our firm everyday.
