Last paragraph:
> This is particularly true in Silicon Valley, where a recent think tank report estimates that 17 percent of workers in “highly technical occupations” are native Californians, with 40 percent hailing from India or China and 29 percent from other non-U.S. countries.
And I thought Toronto was multicultural (~51% born outside of Canada)! I wonder what is the rate regardless of occupation?
Edit to answer my own question:
> More than a third of city residents (35.6%) were born outside the United States.
