Data Source and Calculation
The data source is the Virginia Newcomer Information System (VNIS). Case managers document initial employment and wage information for each refugee. VNIS aggregates this information for each resettlement provider and calculates employment rates. The calculation is the number of work-eligible refugees who are employed at the 90th day after their first job placement divided by the total number of refugees placed in a job. This is a standard measure that is reported to the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement. The 90-day retention rate is obtained from the ORR6 employment report and represents full-time employment.

Results
Year Result Note
2013 77.00
2014 71.00 Because this is measured on a federal fiscal year basis, the year-end result will be available after September 30, 2014.
2015 79.30 Year-end result has been finalized in January 2016.
2016 95.00 Starting in FFY 2017, the short and long-term target will change to 85 percent. We will monitor annual rates to determine if this trend continues.

2020 59.85 Retention rate for full-time employees was obtained from the ORR6 federal employment report. The COVID-19 public health emergency resulted in reducing workforce participation (employment rates).
2021 58.75 Retention rate for full-time employees was obtained from the ORR6 federal employment report. The PHE may still have lingering effects on workforce participation.
