In 2018, the Urban Institute issued this report on current data about refugees’ graduation rates, employment data, and voting frequency. Male refugees tend to have high labor participation rates, and female refugees’ labor participation rates tend to increase over time.
Refugees who arrive in the United States as children tend to have higher high school and college graduation rates, with nearly half of Burmese refugees completing a bachelor's degree in comparison to 29% of native-born Americans. Refugees also tend to vote more than non-refugee immigrants.
