Abstract:
Asian and Pacific Islander families in the United States were more likely than all U.S. families in 1980 to have multiple workers. About 63 percent of Asian and Pacific Islander families had two or more workers, compared with about 54 percent of all families. This information from the Commerce Department's Census Bureau was the first to provide disaggregated data on the social and economic characteristics of the following groups: (1) Cambodian; (2) Hmong; (3) Indonesian; (4) Laotian, (5) Pakistani; (6) Thai; (7) Polynesian; (8) Micronesian; and (9) Melanesian. Data are given for the nation, selected states, and selected metropolitan areas for these and other larger Asian and Pacific ethnic groups. Comparisons are made with the United States population in general on the following variables: (1) nativity; (2) citizenship; (3) education; (4) labor force; (5) income and poverty; (6) age; (7) household relationships; (8) marital status; (9) language; (10) year of immigration; (11) residence; and (12) occupation. Tables and graphs illustrate the information in the text. (VM) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)
