It is the home to many Fortune 500 companies and many large foreign companies. Further, as the home of the United Nations, the city forms a critical point for international government affairs and policy. As an entry point for many immigrants, New York has developed into a melting pot of different nationalities, cultures and languages. Over 35% of the population is foreign born. While no one country of origin dominates in New York, the following are the major ones: China, Jamaica, Guyana, Mexico, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Russia. New York also boasts one of the largest Jewish populations outside of Israel. Over 150 languages are spoken in New York City with Spanish being the dominate language next only to English.
