A model for successful adaptation: the case of Greek immigrants in the South

Article Abstract:

The successful migration and survival of Greeks in the South is attributed mainly to their realistic appraisal of the region and adaptation of a strategy that is suitable to the area. The Greek immigrants created their own jobs, remained proud of their heritage and established their own community amidst protest from American southerners. Their accomplishments eventually led to the thriving of Greek American communities in the South.

Female immigrants: a socio-economic portrait

Article Abstract:

A study of the socio-economic standing of female immigrants in the US showed that these women lag behind the native women in terms of labor force participation. However, their ability to access blue-collar jobs are relevantly similar to that of their male counterparts. These results are based on the data from the 1980 and 1990 US Census of Population and Housing and from 1994 Current Population Survey.
