Employment Outlook

The ability to read, speak, write, and comprehend a second or third language is an excellent way to gain a competitive edge in the employment market.

In fact, a 2017 report titled  finds:

  • Demand for bilingual employees has doubled since 2010, with the biggest growth in “high prestige” jobs like financial managers, editors, and industrial engineers.
  • Employers increasingly desire workers who speak multiple languages, particularly in businesses that require a high level of human interaction, like banking, healthcare, and education.

In comparison, the  estimated that just eight percent of college students studied a second language in 2016, which means graduates with that skill will continue to be in demand. 

Reversing the language gap is increasingly important in a global economy where a huge percentage of the world consumers live outside the United States. Understanding different cultures enables you to truly connect with customers, clients, and other stakeholders. Employees fluent in a foreign language can earn higher salaries, too.
