Korean Immigrants in the United States

Korean Immigrants in the United States

From the Migration Policy Institute: 

“Immigrants from the Korean peninsula are one of the ten largest foreign-born groups in the United States, but their numbers have actually shrunk in recent years. Immigrants from Korea tend to be older, better educated, and earn higher incomes than the overall immigrant and native-born populations.”
