Analysis of data from the 1981 Australian Census indicates that there are considerable differences between the occupational distributions of the native and foreign born. Immigrants from non-English speaking countries are at a far greater disadvantage than their counterparts from English-speaking countries. Estimates of probability models of occupational attainment suggest that the inferior labor market position of immigrants from non-English speaking countries results from the relatively poor minor occupational gains they derive from additional years of education.

Type A personality among Anglo and Hispanic diabetes and cardiovascular disease patients was assessed. The specific objectives were to relate differences in Type A personality to Anglo and Hispanic ethnicity and to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases — hypertension and heart disease. The subjects for this research were consecutive patients selected from the patient population of a primary care internal medicine clinic affiliated with the University of California, Irvine Medical Center. A total of 162 currently active diabetes and cardiovascular disease patients and a comparison group of 74 patients who did not have diabetes and cardiovascular disease were included. Type A personality was measured by the 10 item Framigham Type A Questionnaire.
