- sotojuan 9y agoWould like to see this as well. Most of my second and even first generation Asian friends' parents came to the US with no education and worked low pay service jobs. While they were working 10-12 hours a day, my friends excelled in school and their career.
- emodendroket 9y agohttps://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/college-educated-immigrants-united-states#Age https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/college-educated-imm..., Race and Ethnicity, Country Origin > Asians accounted for 46 percent of the total college-educated immigrant population, followed by whites (28 percent) and Latinos (17 percent). In contrast, an overwhelming majority of native college-educated individuals were white (85 percent), while minorities, particularly Asians and Latinos, were underrepresented (see Figure 2). > In 2014, the top three countries of origin for college-educated immigrants were India (14 percent), China (including Hong Kong, about 8 percent), and the Philippines (8 percent, see Figure 3). The top ten countries of birth accounted for 52 percent of all college-educated immigrants. Given the greater difficulty it makes intuitive sense.
