The Washington Post reports that adult children of immigrants earn more than Americans whose families have lived here for many generations. Second-generation Americans are also more educated than Americans who have more history here, a new Bureau of Labor Statistics report shows. Some 38 percent of second-generation adults (ages 25 to 54) graduated from college vs. 29 percent of third-and-higher-generation Americans.
