NEW YORK CITY - Despite stubborn inflation and national economic turmoil in the past year, Hispanics in the U.S. were optimistic about their personal finances and the economy, according to a new study by the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economic Polling Initiative (FAU BEPI). Declining unemployment is cited as one of the main reasons.
In the recently published study, titled "Hispanic Consumer Index Finds More Optimism About Finances, Economy in First Quarter of 2024," the university's initiative sampled over 400 Hispanic adults through a survey conducted from January to March. The results showed stark differences with years prior.
