Professor Ong has done research on the labor
market status of minorities and immigrants, displaced high-tech workers, work and welfare
and transportation access. He is currently engaged in several projects, including studies
on the effects of neighborhood economies on welfare and work, community economic development in minority communities, and the labor market for healthcare workers.
Previous research projects have included studies
of the impact of defense cuts on California's once-dominant aerospace industry, the impact
of immigration on the employment status of young African Americans, and the influence of
car ownership and subsidized housing on welfare usage. He was co-author of a widely
reported 1994 study on Asian Pacific Americans, which challenged the popular stereotype of
Asians as the country's "model minority" by showing they are just as likely as
other groups to be impoverished.
Dr. Ong has served as an advisor to the U.S.
Bureau of the Census, and to the California Department of Social Services and the state
Department of Employment Development, as well as the Wellness Foundation and the South
Coast Air Quality Management District.
