Purchase the book "A Settler's Handbook for the U.S. Virgin Islands". It is worth every penny. My wife and I are planning our move in August. It is very helpful. It has been updated recently so the information is current. Good Luck.

How prevelant is the usage of Spanish in the islands? Is there opportunities for bi-lingual persons?

There's quite a bit of Apanish spoken on St Croix as there is a large Puerto Rican population.

Additionally there are several businesses in the USVI that 'report' back to the regional offices in Puerto Rico (Spanish Speaking US Island); ie. Sprint Cellular, CIngular Wireless, K-mart... Also Ric is correct there is a large spanish speaking population in St. Croix and to a lesser amount on St. Thomas. The ability to speak Spanish in retail is great and appreciated by employers, as you are able to reach another audience.
