The Spanish language is increasingly becoming more important and more necessary in the U.S. In 2001, the U.S. Latino population is 29.3 million, already over 10% of the total U.S. population, and still growing strong.
Latinos in the U.S. represent $383 billion in purchasing power in 2001, and it will rise to $477 billion by 2002. Over 50% of U.S. residents who speak a second language, speak Spanish; and 89% of Latinos in the U.S. speak Spanish. By 2010, the U.S. Latino population is estimated to reach 42 million, and will become the largest minority group in the U.S.
