They are the ones most likely to suffer under the new Communist regimes. I thank God we have been able to rescue as many as we have. Unemployment is indeed a serious problem in this country. and many Americans are concerned about the additional impact of these refugees. It appears. however. that their effect will be minimal. Current estimates of total evacuees are running about 130.000. of whom only some 35.000 will need jobs. This is only fourhundredths of 1 percent of our civilian work force and only 3 /4 months worth of our normal yearly immigration. Special efforts are being made by the Labor Department to be sure that the refugees are relocated in areas where unemployment is least severe. Finally. many of the people already have family ties in the United States. which was why they were evacuated in the first place. No matter how small the effect.
