employ ees three separate studies on income and ethnic groups show And it isnt even that profit able for an Englishspeaking worker to be bilingual The three studies based on 1971 census figures and con ducted by University of Mon treal the Economic Council of Canada and New York State University approach the ques tion from different directions and have varying statistics but they reach the same con clusions on number of points In 1961 Quebecers of Hench origin were on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder dec ade later their position hadnt changed appreciably Bilingual French workers despite their knowledge of two languages dont enjoy any eco nomic advantage over unilid ngual Englishspeaking work ers However the wage gap be tween anglophones and franco phones did narrow between 1961 and 1971 Learning second language doesnt make any substantial difference in the earning power of an English language worker The Economic Council of Canada study undertaken by JacAndre Boulet looked at in come of workers in the metropolitan Montreal area It shows unilingual French speaking workers are on the secondtolowest economic rung only better than workers of German origin who speak French Unilingual French workers earned an average of $5421 while workers who speak only English averaged $8631 However the francophones did increase their average wage by 82 per cent in 10 years compared to SOpercent in crease for unilingual English workers Boulets study shows bilingual French wage earners made large financial strides between 1961 and 1971 but they did not catch up to unilingual English workers With an average wage of $7 355 they were still more than $1000 behind English workers Bilingual English workers scarcely made any headway over their unilingual com patriots Boulets study shows In 1971 they earned an average of $220 more year Ten years earlier they earned about $183 more year Economist Francois Vaillair court of University of Montreal reached similar conclusions in his study French workers are always the most underprivileged whatever their occupation and even if they become bilingual they dont succeed in catching up to the anglophone whether he is bilingual or not Vaillan court says Cultural Development Minis ter Camille Laurin has used Vaillancourts results to sup port his contention that Bill the proposed Frenchlanguage charter is needed to help Fron ch workers reach economic equality with their English counterparts Remember Yoolwmtthh mumM1 Polyester Shirts sishiys smrhsleeved spar Patterned Shirts °Ye$ er cotton sport 1swearméshodesSM
