Does anyone know where I can obtain information that clearly states how
literacy tutoring and/or a literacy program (for adults) directly
benefits a local community? I found numerous statistics on the NIFL
website, but am looking for a more definitive statement instead of
numbers. I know a community "benefits as a whole" through a more
literate society, I'm just searching for some general reasons why. 

Thanks in advance for any information provided.
