Description: 

The study identifies who the limited English speakers in the United States are, and explains how they differ from immigrants in general and why TANF and WIA providers should be concerned about them. The author makes these suggestions: bilingual staff should be hired when possible; English language, literacy and numeracy training should be integrated with job training; and that existing education and training programs be adapted to include limited English speakers.
