Abstract: The ability to speak English influences a worker’s ability to succeed. It affects the employment status, work status, earnings and the occupations the workers are in. This article analyzes workers’ ability to speak English by occupation and industry. It also highlights the wage gap among workers that have different levels of English proficiency. The researcher used data from IPUMS datasets to identify the occupations, industries and wages for Oregon’s workers that speak English “less than very well”, speak English “very well” and speak another foreign language, and those that speak only English.
