Study: Refugees Stay In Manufacturing Jobs Longer Than Other Employees
NEW YORK—Refugees in the United States, some 15 percent of whom work in manufacturing jobs, stay in those jobs longer than do other employees, according to a new study by the Fiscal Policy Institute.
The report, commissioned by Tent, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping businesses support refugees, studied employment trends in four areas that are major sites of refugee resettlement. Those areas were Atlanta, Phoenix, upstate New York and central Nebraska.
