MIGUEL LEAL, MRC LATINO: It is often said that the economy is benefiting rich, white old men. Do you think that’s the case? If that’s not the case, who else is it benefiting and how?

CLARA DEL VILLAR, DIRECTOR OF SENIOR INITIATIVES, FREEDOMWORKS FOUNDATION: Well, certainly, certainly that is indeed the case. But happily we´re seeing a very expansive economic benefit trickling down to, and certainly Latino, the Hispanic community is experiencing the lowest unemployment rate in history, in the United States. Latino population is being well represented in small and medium sized business category which is roaring along and across a broad spectrum.
