Latinos are the youngest cohort of the US population, with a median age of 29.8, almost nine years lower than the median age of 38.5 for the entire US population (USA Facts 2021). The US Department of Labor also estimates that Latinos will represent 78% of net new workers between 2020 and 2030 (Dubina 2021). As a result, it is in the best interest of the US economy to ensure that Latinos can fully benefit from and contribute to the opportunities brought on by current and emerging technologies—either at home, in the workplace, in the classroom, or in applied environments such as health care or financial services.
