This graph has tow lines one for males and one for females which indicate with reference to a scale at the side what percentage of immigrants at each age use a language other than English or French at work. The proportion increases quickly among workers between 15 and 25 years of age. It remains essentially stable between the ages of 25 and 50. It falls off slightly between 50 and 65 and increases thereafter up to age 75. No figures are reported for the few immigrants who work beyond age 75.
