National Hispanic Heritage Month, which is observed September 15 to October 15, is an ideal time to pay attention to and understand this growing segment of the U.S. workforce.
Our nation ranks as one of the largest Spanish-speaking countries in the world. The U.S. is second only to Mexico, with over 40 million native Spanish speakers and millions more who speak Spanish as a second language. By 2050, one-third of U.S. residents will be Spanish speakers, and all this rapid growth is reflected in the workforce.
