Hispanic Economic Experience
June 16, 2011
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
A research conference sponsored by
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, in partnership with the American Society of Hispanic Economists and the Immigrant Research and Policy Center at the University of North Texas
The Hispanic population is growing more quickly and dramatically than many demographers had estimated. This expansion, together with the recent recession, is driving economic change in the U.S. This conference explored migration, labor and social trends in an effort to illustrate and widen understanding of this dynamic population. The conference format called for participants to look behind the numbers to help construct the narrative of the Hispanic economic experience.
