Are you fluent in more than one language?
An increasing number of U.S. residents are, with about one in five Americans--nearly 62 million people--speaking a language other than English at home, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
That number is at an all-time high, up 50% since 1990, with the largest increases for speakers of Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic--also the most sought-after languages employers hire for--according to data from the Center for Immigration Studies and New American Economy, a coalition of mayors and business leaders that supports immigration reform.
And that translates to more jobs calling for a bilingual skill set. According to the New American Economy report, the amount of online job postings targeting bilingual workers more than doubled nationwide between 2010 and 2015. OK, now you're talking our language!
