Interpreters and Translators: An Unstoppable Demand

By: Universal Language Service

Introduction

In today’s globalized world, the importance of clear communication cannot be overstated. Despite the rapid advancements in A.I. and machine learning, the demand for human interpreters and translators continues to soar. But why?

A Flourishing Industry

Recent articles and studies have highlighted the burgeoning demand for language professionals. U.S. News ranked interpreters and translators as #4 on their list of Best Creative & Media Jobs. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics further supports this trend, projecting a 20% growth in employment for these professionals from 2019 to 2029. This growth rate surpasses the average for most occupations.

Medical Interpreting and VRI

One sector that has particularly felt the surge is medical interpreting. With the U.S. becoming increasingly diverse, the need for interpreters in healthcare settings is more crucial than ever. The rise of Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) technology has only amplified the benefits of language interpretation services. As work, school, and even routine doctor visits have shifted to remote contexts, VRI is not just a temporary solution—it’s the future.
