programs; (2) a sample of 1,125 refugees
to collect data on refugees’ employment
an earnings outcomes; (3) two to four
focus groups with seven to ten program
clients in each of the three sites to
obtain customer perspectives of the
services they received and their
adjustment experiences.

three state refugee coordinators,
voluntary agency (VOLAG) and Mutual
Assistance Association (MAA) staff,
local RSS and TAG service providers,
and employers who employ significant
numbers of refugees.
(2) The respondents of the survey are
refugees who have been in the United

services. The survey relies on a mixedmode data collection method that
involves both telephone and in-person

Approximately 900 of the 1,125 refugees
sampled will complete the survey over
