The following article is the second part of a two-part series. Part 1, which was published in the previous issue of The Ukrainian Weekly, addressed the timing, place of birth and mother tongue of Ukrainian immigrants to the United States, as well as their distribution within the U.S. Part 2 addresses Ukrainian immigrants’ characteristics, such as age and sex, education (literacy), knowledge of English, family structure, employment status, class of worker, occupation and homeownership.
Part 2
The first part of this article presented new results about the First Wave of immigrants from Ukraine to the United States. These results were based on recently released census data for 1910, 1920 and 1930. Immigrants from Ukraine were defined using two different criteria: “place of birth” and “mother tongue.”
