Results: The most common way in which multicultural young people found their current main job was by searching online (28.2%). This was higher than the proportion who accessed employment through family networks (21%) or friends (16.4%). This appears to highlight the resourcefulness of multicultural young people who perhaps cannot rely on existing social networks to find employment to the same extent as non-refugee and migrant young people.
