In hard times, immigrants are often accused of stealing jobs. But migrants can actually create employment, according to research by Ivan Light, a professor emeritus of sociology at the University of California. As quoted by the Irish Examiner, Light states that migrants have built-in advantages - like bi- or multi-lingualism, an intimate understanding of multiple cultures and access to international networks - which help them recognise business opportunities that mono-cultural locals might miss.
