This report describes some essential facts about recent immigrants from the Philippines to Hawaii, especially those who have come since the major changes in United States immigration laws of 1965. The data presented are taken from the existing literature and a recent survey of Filipino immigrants. Filipinos are currently the second largest group of Asians in the United States and are likely to become the largest group by 1986. They constitute the largest ethnic group in Hawaii, and more than half of the Hawaiian Filipinos were born in the Philippines. Filipinos are generally of lower socioeconomic status than either mainland Filipinos or non-Filipinos in Hawaii. The report focuses on Ilokano immigrants on Oahu, presenting data from a detailed survey conducted in 1981. Information is provided on characteristics of this community, reasons for coming to Hawaii, and economic and emotional adjustment. (KH)
