Close to 1 in 10 Americans are Latino men: While they’re younger and have a higher participation in the workforce than any other racial group, they’re still catching up.

Summary

Latino men played a key role in Donald Trump’s election victory, with 43-55% supporting him, drawn by promises of economic relief, job opportunities, and small business support.

Despite higher workforce participation, many Latino men face wage gaps, dangerous jobs, and lower educational attainment compared to other groups.

Some prioritize trade skills or entrepreneurship over college, seeking practical returns on investment.

Experts highlight the need for policies addressing economic barriers, job training, and health coverage to sustain their support.

Future voting will depend on whether these voters see tangible progress in achieving the American Dream.
