How Are Different Asian-American Groups Faring Economically? : Code Switch : NPR

Some highlights from a US Department of Labour Report on Asian Americans:

“Overall, 53.4 percent of Asians over the age of 25 have a bachelors degree or higher — the highest percentage by far among the major race groups.”

“The AAPI community has the second highest share of unemployed workers who are long-term unemployed 41.7 percent … Asian Americans who are unemployed, are without work for longer than whites and Hispanics.”

“When controlled for age, sex and educational attainment, unemployment rate for Indians is actually higher than comparable whites. This difference suggests that the Indian community as a whole tends to be more educated, but when looking at similarly situated white workers, their employment outcomes are less favorable.”
