Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative surveyed 15,000 employer businesses in 2021 as part of its annual national survey to assess the current state of U.S. Latino entrepreneurship. We have compiled some of the most pressing insights about Latino-owned employer businesses in the Chicago metropolitan area in Illinois.
There are 12,838 Latino-owned businesses in the area. With 9 Latino-owned companies for every 100 White-owned businesses, the Chicago metro area has a higher concentration of Latino-owned businesses than the United States at large (8 LOBs for every 100 WOBs).
