In this article, we will look at whether bilingualism does offer, for francophones in Moncton, concrete advantages in the workplace and, if such is the case, to what extent. To this end, we will draw on two ethnographic studies undertaken in the workplace. We will attempt to show that for all the talk on the benefits of being bilingual, the question of bilingualism in the workplace is quite complex and, in the end, the advantages, at least as far as francophones are concerned, are essentially limited to finding employment.
