As the nation’s economy contracted at a record rate in recent months, the group’s unemployment rate rose sharply, particularly among Hispanic women, and remains higher among Hispanic workers than U.S. workers overall.

From 2010 to 2019, the U.S. population increased by 18.9 million, and Hispanics accounted for more than half of this growth.

The U.S. Hispanic population reached a record 60.6 million in 2019, up 930,000 over the previous year and up from 50.7 million in 2010.

91% of Democrats favor granting legal status to immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children; 54% of Republicans say the same.

68% of U.S. adults say the federal government has a responsibility to provide medical care to undocumented immigrants who have COVID-19.

Around half of Hispanics say they or someone in their household has taken a pay cut or lost a job – or both – because of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Hispanics are more concerned than Americans overall about the threat COVID-19 poses to Americans' health, their own finances and daily life.

Most Latino registered voters (71%) say they want government to be more involved in solving the nation’s problems.

54% of Hispanics in the U.S. say establishing a way for most unauthorized immigrants to stay in the country legally is very important.
