Being bi-lingual increases your chances of being hired in the Virgin Islands, because of the large Hispanic population there, especially on St. Croix.

i would assume that much of the hispanic population comes from costa rica-- am i right?

No, not that many Costa Ricans in the Virgin Islands. The Hispanic population consists of Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. A great deal of the Puerto Rican population (not sure on percentages) was born on St. Croix, since Puerto Ricans started migrating to St. Croix in the 1930s and 1940s. The Dominican migration to the Virgin Islands is more recent.
