From the Philadelphia Jewish Voice:
Jennifer Lee of the University of California, Irvine and a visiting scholar at the
Russell Sage Foundation reported that Korean immigrants have been the most educated,
with 51 percent of them arriving with a college education (and another 20 percent
with some college background). This is compared to a 27 percent rate of college education
amongst other recent immigrants and 28 percent of American citizens with a bachelor's
degree. Korean immigrants migrated towards business as a response to blocked opportunities
in the U.S. labor market because of their language barrier.
