Immigrants and employment

Andrew Butcher has posted a variety of links on his blog to a new Massey University report he co-authored about immigrants to NZ facing discrimination when seeking employment in spite of being well (or over) qualified.

See Immigrants face employment discrimination. The full report: Butcher, Spoonley and Trlin (2006) Being Accepted: The Experience of Social Exclusion and Discrimination by Migrants and Refugees in New Zealand, (PDF 665KB) is available for download here New_Settlers_Discrimination_Report_no_13.pdf

There’s also a link to the radio interview about the paper at Radio Interview – Immigration research.
