“The huge jump in the Hispanic population is no secret but that impact on North Carolina’s economy was unknown until a UNC study was released in January.

“It’s comprehensive findings give us a clear balanced perspective on the huge opportunities laying ahead for sustained growth for the state of North Carolina with the leverage contribution of the Hispanic workforce,” said Armando Ortiz Rocha of the NC Mexican Consulate.

The study finds about 600,000 Hispanics live in North Carolina, 55 percent legally and 45 percent illegally. It also finds Hispanic spending brings about $9 billion to the state’s economy and they fill about one of every three new jobs.”
