The bilingual advantage

The Bilingual Advantage. Language, Literacy and the US Labor Market is a book that draws from various disciplines--education, sociology, anthropology and linguistics--to examine the economic benefits of bilingualism in the workplace. As explained in the introduction (Chapter 1), the editors contextualize bilingualism in the information age. They have organized the chapters in four sections that address, in turn, bilingualism in the current global market, its economic benefits, the employment and educational attainment variables, and future alternatives for bilingualism.
