Vietnamese Refugees and Blocked Mobility.

Gold, Steve; Kibria, Nazli

Asian and Pacific Migration Journal, v2 n1 p27-56 1993

Examines data from published sources and ethnographic studies that assess the economic situation of Vietnamese refugees in the United States. Evidence suggests that, rather than a success story, the economic status of many Vietnamese refugees is characterized by unstable, minimum-wage employment, welfare dependency, and participation in the informal economy.
