Hispanic influx translates into language barrier – New Orleans
Tagged: Louisiana, New Orleans, populationPosted on: July 23rd, 2007“As New Orleans’ Hispanic population swelled to more than twice its pre-Katrina size by most estimates, so has the demand for Spanish speakers and instruction. Martin Gutierrez, director of the Catholic Diocese’s Hispanic Apostolate, estimated as many as 150,000 Hispanics now live in the metro region, up from about 60,000 pre-Katrina.
The increased Hispanic market has businesses scrambling to language classes and translation services.”
