Among Latino immigrants, 29% speak more English than Spanish or only English at work, compared with 7% who do so at home. An additional 24% speak English and Spanish equally at work, and 43% speak more Spanish than English or only Spanish. (Figure 11)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most well-educated immigrants speak mainly or only English at work, as do most of those who arrived as young children. So do most people (58%) in the highest-income immigrant households, a finding that could reflect their higher education levels.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most Puerto Ricans born on the island speak mainly or only English at work, as do 42% of South American immigrants. So do 34% of Dominicans, 32% of Central Americans, 26% of Cubans and 24% of Mexicans. (Figure 12) That is more than double the share of each group that speaks mainly or only English at home.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"e7eceb\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e7eceb;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6123 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2007\/11\/2007-english-13.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"307\" height=\"446\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S.-born adult children of Latino immigrants are much more likely to speak English at work, but not all do. Two-thirds of the second generation say they use mainly or only English on the job. That rises to 80% for the third and higher generation.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looked at from another perspective, more than a few native-born Latinos use some Spanish in the workplace. Just 7% speak only Spanish or mainly Spanish on the job, in contrast to the 43% of immigrants who do.
