A 2018 survey of 1,200 US employers found that 9 out of 10 relied on their employees to know a language other than English, according to a report by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. This demand is expected to increase in the coming years.
"For U.S. employers, the demand for foreign language skills is greater than ever before. Whether it’s in the boardroom, in the field, with customers and partners, or on social media, companies today are increasingly more likely to conduct business in a language other than English. Consequently, a command in multiple languages is a valuable asset for U.S. students and employees—not only in boosting their marketability in the workplace, but in helping them thrive in a global economy."
