No Middle-Aged White Guys Were Harmed

Recent Hindu and Muslim immigrants are remarkably well-educated according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center. On average, Hindus in the U.S. have nearly 16 years of schooling while Muslim Americans have nearly 14 years of schooling.  According to Pew - Jews in the U.S. average 14.7 years or schooling contrasted with 12.7 years for U.S. Christians.

Enjoying this level of education these immigrants typically find more lucrative positions thereby challenging assertions that immigrant workers are stealing jobs from native-born workers at the lower end of the job pyramid.

Fascinating.
