 * Though Vietnamese immigration has continued at a fairly steady pace since the 1980s, the pathway to immigration for Vietnamese today has shifted entirely. As opposed to the earlier history of Vietnamese migration that stemmed predominantly from refugees, an overwhelming majority of Vietnamese are now granted LPR on the basis of family sponsored preferences or by way of immediate relatives to U.S. citizens, at 53% and 44% respectively. This marks a complete about face, in 1982, 99% of Vietnamese that were granted LPR were refugees, while today that group compromises a mere 1% of the Vietnamese population.   The numbers are different for foreign born Vietnamese though. The same data from 2016 among shows that among working Vietnamese Immigrants only 29% had management, business, science, and arts occupations; while 34% had service occupations; 15% had sales and office occupations, only 5% had reported natural resources, construction, and maintenance occupations; and 18% had natural resources, construction, and maintenance occupations.
