Abstract
This study aimed to add to our prior research with Brazilian immigrant workers in Massachusetts and the region surrounding Governador 
Valadares by providing a sociodemographic and health profile of returnees to the area. Interviews conducted between March 2014 and May 2015 with 141 returnees showed that most Brazilian immigrants 
worked in Massachusetts in precarious, low skill, physically demanding jobs in the service sector and construction. After returning, their work and employment conditions continued to be precarious 
and their work-related problems were similar to their experience in Massachusetts.

Keywords
  • Brazilian migration; immigrant health; returnees.
