Starting Over: Refugees look to rebuild in Worcester

March 28, 2016
By Clark News and Media Relations

…According to two separate, recent studies, [Worcester] is home to nearly 32,000 foreign-born citizens. That’s about 21 percent of its 181,045 residents — no insignificant number. Between 2007-2012, the Department of State reported 2,196 refugees resettling in Worcester. One study was conducted by the Public Policy Center at UMass-Dartmouth, the other was by Dr. Anita Fábos, a Clark University associate professor.… ‘Other immigrants do not have the expectation that they have to learn English right away and they have to get a job right away. Refugees have so much riding on them because they’re supposed to fit into the American way of life really fast,’ said Fábos in a phone conversation. (Worcester Magazine, March 10, 2016)
