Bilingual employees are ‘increasingly lucrative’

With the rising number of Spanish speaking people in the United States,. Spanish speaking employees are becoming even more valuable to employers.

Assistant Professor of Spanish David Hitchcock said a bilingual employee can help bridge the gap for clients that do not speak or speak very little English. He said the need for Spanish speaking employees differs in different fields and areas of the country.

Positions such as court reporters and international reporters are generally in high demand for bilingual employees. Hitchcock said the recent “wave” of immigrants from Spanish speaking countries makes the need for bilingual employees even greater. He said these immigrants continue to speak Spanish at home, and the work-place make it necessary for employers to hire someone that can communicate with Spanish speakers in an effective way.”*
