Abstract:

Early employment of refugees from the former Soviet Union is related to gender, marital status, and age of the refugees, as well as ESL level and frequency and variety of vocational service received. Results of a stepwise, logistic regression analysis suggest that the frequency of contact with a job developer, age, and gender are predictors of early employment for this group.
