This article examines experiences of workplace precarity and employment vulnerability among resettled refugees in the United States. This study, which draws on eight months of participant observation at a refugee resettlement agency and in-depth interviews with refugees, provides important insights into the ways that refugees navigate (un)employment after initial resettlement and the precarities they encounter while on the job
