The 2024 Latino Happiness Repor, released today, indicates that 57 percent of the Latinos living in the U.S. consider themselves to be happy. An additional 30 percent say they’re at least somewhat happy with their lives while 13 percent report feelings of unhappiness.
Conducted by leading Hispanic public media company HITN’s health and wellness brand Vida y Salud to support International Day of Happiness, the report sheds light on the happiness, mental well-being, and motivations of the U.S. Latino community.
Latinos comprise approximately 19 percent of the overall U.S. population with researches estimating they were responsible for 80 percent of net labor force growth. By understanding the key factors impacting Latino happiness, health and wellness, we can ensure greater overall health for this fast-growing, economically critical community.
“Many of today’s societal issues have an outsized impact on Latino families,” Erika Vogt-Lowell, HITN Director of Programming and Acquisitions said. “Latino families report higher stress levels related to culturally specific concerns like discrimination and acculturation, in addition to the common stressors faced by other communities. It’s critically important to develop resources and tools that support our growing communities, both for their well-being and for the well-being of the nation as a whole.”
