Abstract
This dissertation is concerned with the adjustment of Hmong refugees to life in a California community. The author notes that coming from a background as farmers and soldiers in Laos, the Hmong face serious problems in making appropriate economic adjustments to their new life in the United States. This source examines the Hmong economic situation in terms of their welfare benefits, occupations, job training, income, and organization. Much of the material in this work was gathered from interviews with 50 Hmong refugees and supplemented by data provided by various agency officials.
