Hello (hola): Welcome to increasingly bilingual schools – Champaign-Urbana
Tagged: bilingual, Illinois, populationPosted on: June 17th, 2007“In Champaign County alone, the Hispanic population rose by 22 percent between 2000 and 2005, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The jump in population can be attributed to a long period of relatively low unemployment rates in the United States, leading to many open positions in low-paying, hard-labor fields, like agricultural and factory workers and service staff, said Jorge Chapa, the director of the Center on Democracy in a Multiracial Society at the University of Illinois.”
