New York City is a city of immigrants, says Denise Deagan, Director of Adult Basic Education in BMCCs Department of Continuing Education and Workforce Development. In fact, according to the New York City Department of City Planning, 46 percent of NYCs total eight million residents speak a language other than English at home, and immigrants comprise 43 percent of the Citys labor force.
