    Title: Annual Survey of Refugees (Form ORR-9)Start Printed Page 61820

    OMB No.: 0970-0033

    Description: The Annual Survey of Refugees collects information on the social and economic characteristics of a random sample of refugees, Amerasians, and entrants who arrived in the United States in the five years prior to the date of the survey. The survey focuses on employment and other training, labor force participation, and welfare utilization rates. From the responses, the Office of Refugee Resettlement reports on the economic adjustment of refugees to the American economy. These data are used by Congress in its annual deliberations on refugee admissions and funding and by program managers in formulating policies for the future direction of the Refugee Resettlement Program.
