Abstract
This study examines the relationships between types of sponsorship and employment status among three ethnic groups of Indochinese refugees who arrived in the United States between 1978 and 1982. A sample of 1,960 refugees between the ages of 18 and 64 was used. The results of the logistic regression analysis indicate that refugees who were sponsored by voluntary agencies were more likely to be employed than those who were sponsored by their ethnic relatives. Other factors which had significant effects on employment status were health, education and urban residence in the original country, English proficiency, length of residence in the United States and age. The findings revealed no significant interaction effects between ethnic groups and types of sponsorship.
