Idk how much this tells about American Latinos actually. That just means that the economy in the US is very large, which stems from a lot of things not related to “race/ethnicity”, including a high level of industrialization, access to technology and top universities, the priviledged position that the US dollar & English language have (which majority US latinos speak, contrary to majority of Latin Americans), the politico-military hegemony (or near hegemony) that the US has in the world, etc etc.
