Mamgain, V., &Collins, K. (2003). Off the boat, now off to work: Refugees in the labour market in Portland, Maine. Journal of Refugee Studies, 16(2), 113-146.
Mixed study about the Somali refugees working patterns in Lewiston Maine. Some conclusions: Women tend to do better the higher level of education, length of time in Miane does not affect the employment, and prior jobs prediction of current employment [which is also true of most Americans in our society]. Some of the cultural disconnectedness that refugees face are cotidian factors like paper work, punctuality, how to handle family emergency, interviews, religious differences.
