abstract: 'The resettlement model supported by the US government aims to help
recently arrived refugees achieve economic self-reliance within the
first 90 to 180 days of arrival. In addition to the challenges they face
in adapting to their new locations, however, refugees enter a US labor
market characterized by preexisting wage disparities based on race and
gender. Meanwhile, recent changes in US refugee and immigration policies
have infused debates over nationalism, Islamophobia, and the economics
of resettlement. In this context, it is critical to assess whether
refugees face wage discrimination that may affect their ability to
become economically self-reliant. Drawing on the International Rescue
Committee''s administrative data on refugee resettlement, we examine the
extent to which starting wages for newly arrived refugees differ by
region of origin and gender. The study found consistent gender pay gaps
among the majority of new arrivals. The study also identified lower
wages for refugees arriving from sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and
the Caribbean compared to other regions. These trends suggest a need for
more consistent agency monitoring of employment placement, and the
development of strategies to ensure more equitable employment outcomes
for refugees.'
