The Hispanic population in the U.S. is the 2nd largest in the world, second only to Mexico. Hispanic in the U.S. are the fastest growing ethnic population in the U.S. The U.S. Hispanic population has more than doubled from 1990 to today and is now estimated to be at 45.5 million according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Talk about a powerful group!
