"These figures certainly point up the fact that the settlement in this state of these unfortunate individuals and their families, who were uprooted as a result of the consequences of World War II, has had no appreciable impact upon our economy," Commissioner Corsi declared.
Since Oct. 30, 1948, when the first group of 813 displaced persons arrived in New York, the proportion of refugees resettling in the state has steadily declined. Of those arriving in 1948, more than half intended to locate in New York. In the first quarter of 1949 the proportion dropped to 43 per cent. By the end of July it was 33 percent. And by the end of 1949 it had fallen to 28.5 percent.
