Indian Immigrants in the United States

Migration Policy Institute released a report on “Indian Immigrants in the United States.” by Ari Hoffman and Jeanne Batalova.

The bottom line:  “Indians make up the second largest foreign-born group in the United States. Yet large-scale immigration did not begin until after landmark policy changes in 1965.” (bold added).

Some other takeaways:

Indian immigrants are more likely than others to have arrived recently. More than two-thirds arrived since 2000.

Indian immigrants tend to be very well educated: 80 percent have a college degree and nearly half hold a graduate or professional degree.
