Asian and Pacific Islander American Poverty: The Working Poor and the Jobless Poor.

Toji, Dean S.; Johnson, James H.

Amerasia Journal, v18 n1 p83-91 1992

Assesses the incidence of Asian-American and Pacific Islander-American poverty, and offers a theoretical explanation for its existence. It is argued that poverty of Americans of Asian and Pacific Island descent is best understood in the context of the linkage of labor migration and U.S. labor market segmentation. (SLD)
