Income inequality and opportunities among immigrants in BC

Some comments on Cyrille's questions

3) How would you describe your social/financial status prior to arriving in BC? (1) impoverished (2) lower-middle class (3) middle class (4) wealthy o Do you think that this is Like Minjeong, I am also wondering if it would be better for us if they are relatively better off now, ore before immigration...but maybe that is just my preference

Like Minjeong suggested, I think we should have respondents read another immigrant's relevant account of their experience with (insert whatever we are trying to ask here - perhaps, governmental programs?)and what their ratings are before posing the questions for our own respondents to answer - this would probably be suitable for value judgment questions with answers like (a) poor (b) somewhat poor (c) average (d) somewhat good (e) good (f) excellent. One person's degree of "averageness" or "excellence" might be different than another's. Then again, if we do that, maybe TWO accounts should be given for respondents to read. A positive account, and a negative account in attempt to avoid any possible measurement biases.

Or maybe I am just thinking too much??
