Many diversity lottery recipients experience challenges finding relevant jobs. Hailu et al. (2012) found that participants in their study reported having difficulty finding jobs due to biased perceptions against their accent, regardless of their credentials. This is congruent with the more general idea that marginalized people are rarely seen as experts. Additionally, many diversity lottery recipients have high levels of debt due to the cost of airfare and visa fees. They also often are expected to support not only their families in the U.S. but also back home, as is more generally the case with recent immigrants and marginalized people. In this position, they are forced to take whatever work they can find, often jobs that are less desirable, dangerous, or exploitative. For this reason, many diversity lottery recipients plan to return to their home country.
