  • A notable gap in labor force participation and earnings persists compared to pre-Mariel Cubans.
  • Integration occurred primarily through the existing Cuban community, but with reported discrimination and a 'minority-within-a-minority' sentiment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Mariel refugees have largely integrated economically but face social challenges within the Cuban community.
    • Targeted programs for entrepreneurship, English language, family reunification, and anti-discrimination efforts are recommended.
    • Despite challenges, many Mariel refugees express satisfaction with their lives in the US.
