Despite being 1 of the most entrepreneurial group of people, Entrepreneurship rates amongst US Born Latino Millennial's is on the decline.
Immigrants who own a business typically do better than other immigrants, just as US born Biz owners do better than other US born workers
Hispanics account for 20% of all immigrant Main Street business owners, 1/2 of which are Mexican born. #Gentefy
Asians make up 49% of all immigrant Main Street business owners, playing a big role in restaurants, dry cleaners, and nail salons. #Gentefy
