In 2013, more than 25 million people in the United States reported limited English proficiency (LEP), an 80 percent increase since 1990.

This Migration Information Source Spotlight explores key indicators of the LEP population, both U.S. and foreign born, including geographic distribution, language diversity, and employment.
