A British company report ranks Arabic as the second-most important language to learn, following German.
Adzuna, a job-searching site based in the UK, analysed over a million English-language job postings to find the languages that earn their speakers the highest pay.
The list below shows the average pay for jobs, based on language requirements:

English is not included as a language requirement, presumably because the postings were already in English.
The first and most required language is German, according to Adzuna. The average salary offered to those who are fluent in both English and German in Britain amounts to 34,534 GBP per year ($45,000). The national average wage in the UK is currently 27,478 GBP ($35,760) before tax and other deductions.
According to Adzuna, just knowing a language isn't enough to land most of the jobs found in their database. A second language is most lucrative, when paired with other skills in demand in the market.
The study stated that there are 1113 vacant jobs in the UK requiring the candidates to be fluent in Arabic and English.
A British Council report ranks Arabic is currently in great demand across a range of UK business sectors, but there's a real shortage of well-qualified speakers. Those who were fluent in Arabic and English can compete for a larger number of jobs vacancies, the study found, and get a much higher than average salaries earned by those who only speak English.

As one of the six official UN languages, Arabic can be a real boost to the CV of anyone looking to start a career in international organisations and diplomacy, as well as tourism, journalism and international trade, particularly in the energy industry. Many of these jobs are also well paid, so studying Arabic at an early age is an excellent choice to develop the skills that will set language learners apart.
