Life Time Group shares plummeted 15% Wednesday after the company's third-quarter results revealed higher spending to boost the premium member experience. The cost of running its fitness centers, including new and ramping locations, rose 8.2% year over year during the quarter to $319.4 million, the company said. The program changes are an attempt to keep Life Time's affluent customer base satisfied as prices rise across the board and many consumers increasingly value premium offerings. Life Time increased its prices at many of its locations in recent years, though pricing varies by market. "We aren't taking advantage of all the different connections we have and all the different programs we have, so there is essential work being done to systematize all of that."

Hispanic inclusion in corporate America lagged last year, particularly in three key areas — C-suite representation, talent development and supplier procurement — according to the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility's 2023 Corporate Inclusion Index. The corporate advocacy group's annual report, which measures Hispanic inclusion in employment, procurement, governance and philanthropy, was provided exclusively to CNBC ahead of its wider release. While all companies that participated in the survey reported offering internship programs, only 13% of interns in 2022 identified as Hispanic. "One way of combatting issues related to Hispanic inclusion in corporate America is investments in internship programs as a way of attracting new employees," HACR noted in its report. While Hispanic inclusion lagged, HACR noted survey participation was up 12%, offering hope for future improvement.

Latina women working full time, year-round earn 57 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men, according to a data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That gap in pay translates to a loss of $1,218,000 over a 40-year career. Break that down further and Latinas lose $30,450 in wages per year, or $2,538 every month, compared with the dominant cohort. The gap widens even further to 52 cents for every dollar when part-time and part-year workers are included in the data. "Looking over the course of a career, a Latina woman could never catch up," said Gaylynn Burroughs, NWLC director of workplace equality and senior counsel.

The U.S. Latino economy continues to grow, reaching $3.2 trillion in 2021, up from $2.8 trillion the year prior, according to a new report by the Latino Donor Collaborative in partnership with Wells Fargo. If Latinos were an independent country, their GDP would rank fifth in the world, the study found. "We have a massive economy that's under-invested right now, under-engaged," said Sol Trujillo, Latino Donor Collaborative chairman, in an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box." That is largely due to the Latino community's strong population share, labor force participation and overall productivity in those states. "I would say if you look at the charts now that we have in our study, 48 out of the 50 states' growth is tied to this [Latino] cohort," Trujillo said.

Twitter is a more dangerous social platform for LGBTQ users now than it was a year ago, according to a new survey from LGBTQ+ rights organization GLAAD. GLAAD found that the platforms continue to fall short at establishing and enforcing safeguards meant to protect LGBTQ users from hate speech. "You can think of community notes as like an error correction on information in the network. And the effect of community notes is actually bigger than it would seem. The debate over a community notes approach is that it leaves the burden on those affected by hate speech to report harmful posts.

A clear majority of Americans who don't identify as LGBTQ+ believe companies should publicly support the community, according to a new survey from gay rights organization GLAAD. In April, Bud Light came under fire after partnering with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The campaign prompted violent videos of customers shooting cans of Bud Light and a right-wing boycott. In response, the marketing executive who oversaw the partnership at Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch Inbev took a leave of absence. Sales of Bud Light since then continue to suffer, according to data by Evercore ISI.
