Language jobs in USA

The Department of Labor estimates that as many as 25,000 jobs for interpreters will have been created in the US in the ten years to 2020, as the previously ‘desirable’ skill of being proficient in another language is rapidly being replaced by a ‘requirement’ to do so.

As the US economy becomes increasingly international, the drive to strengthen relationships and improve the lines of communication with its international partners has pushed the need to speak other languages to the top of the corporate agenda.

After Spanish, the second most spoken language in the US, demand is growing for workers who can speak at least one or more other language.

China’s strength as one of the largest trading nations in the world has driven demand for Mandarin speakers, while the growth of the Middle East as an important trading partner has seen greater need for those fluent in Arabic.

With Russia and many of the former Soviet republics experiencing strong economic growth, Russian speakers are increasingly in demand as are Portuguese speakers, thanks to Brazil’s emerging economy.

Given the many trade links the US has with Canada, where large parts of the country use French as their primary language, demand continues to remain high for those who can speak French.
