The southernmost contiguous state, Florida, has long been recognized for the large Latino population within its borders. Latinos represent 23.6 percent of the state's population. And just as the population size increased, as did Latino visibility, Latino-focused business and Latino entrepreneurship.
In recent years, Hispanics have been launching businesses at a record rate, piloting industries at twice the rate of the national rate. Business-minded and natural risk-takers, it's no surprise that Hispanics often create their own home-based and/or small business, which goes to produce in-home revenue, as well as revenue for their community.
