California’s Growing Bilingual Population

The data from the last two US surveys provided an estimate of the bilingual population. In the surveys of 1990 and 2000, respondents (or their parents) were asked whether they talked in a language other than English at home, and when talking, they were asked how well they speak English. The data does not show how respondents read and write English but this is more important for performance at school and work but they are valuable information on the language background of the population of the United States and California provide.

This is very important. I've heard a lot about science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or gaps in STEM skills because bilingual skill gaps have been little attention. According to the New Economy Report, 2017 in the United States, in Canada in particular, this gap is serious and expanding. "It accounts for 12.4% of the working age population in the United States, but California occupies all job recruitment for bilingual workers 19.4% This is because bilingualism is a direct economic benefit and that person's income The opportunities for employment, opportunities for employment, and opportunities for promotion have been proved.Bilingualism, however, includes improving listening and communication skills, improving intercultural recognition, and improving empathy There are also great benefits to cognition.

Bilingual rhythm does not only benefit Latin Americans. Living in a country where one-third of the population is not alienated politically or culturally is interesting to everyone. In 2016, Proposition 58 "California State Multilingual Education Law" was easily passed by 73% of votes. This is a major change 20 years ago and said that California people passed proposal 227 which is a highly argued anti-bilingual teaching law and broadly supports bilingualism. Especially in today's ethnic group, anti immigrants, bilinguals in California will show that you can change the identity of the US represented by the government, to get closer to reality.
