Forbes: the most popular Languages, 2008
Hi,
Sory for the last post. What do you think about: http://www.forbes.com/2008/02/22/popular-foreign-languages-tech-language_sp08-cx_rr_0222foreign.html
Interesting. I'm surprised how little Spanish helps, I'd like to see the data controlled for each state.
Es ley de la oferta y la demanda, si hay mucha gente que sabe español, el valor añadido de saber español disminuye. Desconozco la situación laboral de USA, pero España, por ejemplo puede suponer un mayor impacto en tu salario saber alemán que inglés, porque gente que sabe inglés las hay a patadas, y sin embargo pocos conocen el idioma de un país que es el principal importador de bienes españoles.
Interesting boxes in the article. Whether speaking Spanish increases income greatly or not, I can't say, but it is becoming required more and more in the United States.
I think OnlyYou nailed it. Because there are so many Spanish speakers in the US, there would be far less demand. Many US companies do business in China and Europe, so I can understand why German and Chinese would be so valued.
Still, I would like to see it disaggregated by state, and perhaps by industry.
"While Chinese and Spanish are becoming global languages, the demand will rise at the same pace as supply."
very interesting.....
This is about which language is betetr to earn more money. But, very interesting article.
