The Indicator from Planet Money
Business
When refugees arrive in the U.S. the clock starts ticking. They usually have up to 90 days to get a job and become 'self-sufficient'.
Researcher Blair Sackett says that that's simply not enough time for refugees to acclimate to a totally new country and culture and find work. She argues that current policy essentially resettles refugees into poverty.
Today on the show we explore that 90-day policy and potential solutions to help refugees find their financial footing.
