In honor of Women’s Week, the second article in a two-part series celebrating the Latinx women who move America forward will address economic and political issues. We will pay special attention to data regarding the workforce, entrepreneurship and purchasing power of Latinx women.
Allied to youth and possessing the will to succeed in a new country, Latina women are occupying more and more space in the labor market, a characteristic that can help combat the wider exit of women and baby boomers from the workforce.
However, American society as a whole still sees prejudices based on race, ethnicity, sex and migration status, which drives Latina women into occupations with lower wages and inferior working conditions.
Opting for entrepreneurship as a means of providing for the family allows for greater flexibility in schedules and autonomy, including hiring other Latinx people, which helps get the LatinX economy going.
Many Latina women see owning their own business as the only option for work, without having to depend on someone else’s decision on whether or not they are the right “fit.”
Despite advances and achievements, there are still a significant number of Latinas and, consequently, Latinx families without financial stability and with high vulnerability to external events.
As if the salary difference and the difficulty of entering the job market in positions that pay better weren’t enough, any instability in the market has a direct impact on Latina women.
The pandemic, for example, quickly and directly impacted the jobs of these women. One in five was unemployed in April 2020. With the return of economic activities, the unemployment rate among them has already decreased, but the market movement has made the vulnerability of Latina women very clear in this regard.
COVID-19 has had a particularly devastating impact: 21% of Latinas lost their jobs in the early days of the pandemic, nearly a quarter of Latinas do not have access to health insurance, and only 16% have the opportunity to work from home, which makes their work even more unstable in these times.
Latina women influence the growth in purchasing power of Latinx people in general, which reached $1.5 trillion in 2018 and is projected to increase to $1.9 trillion by 2023. For those who want to produce and sell in American society , these data are extremely important.

It is estimated that there are 62.1 million Latinx people in the US, which is equivalent to 18.7% of the country’s total population and responsible for 51.1% of the population growth between 2010 and 2020.
With population growth, it is more than natural to turn our eyes to all US political issues, but especially representation in the country’s decision-making summits. And it is also necessary to understand the power of Latina women as voters.
Latina women are such a coveted demographic, there is no one more powerful than a Latina consumer, a Latina voter, a Latina businesswoman, or even a Latina politician, to support the causes they believe in.
A good example of this is the congresswoman from NY Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Of Puerto Rican descent, she was elected at age 28. She advocates, among other causes, the implementation of a universal health system, more labor rights, abolition of the government’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency and more access to public education.
The future of the USA is directly linked to the education, health and economic well-being of Latinas.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
