How Latino Americans are trying to close the wealth gap

Season 2024 Episode 287 | 5m 44s

Total U.S. household wealth has trended upward over the last 15 years or so, but there is still great inequality along racial lines. According to federal data, the typical white family has almost five times the wealth of the typical Hispanic family. John Yang speaks with author Giovanna González to learn more about how first- and second-generation Latino Americans are trying to close that gap.
