Consider the data presented below, which represent the average household incomes earned by immigrants to the U.S. from various Asian countries in 2019 (Source: U.S. Census). Evaluate critically the statements that follow. Mean HH Income, 2019 India $126,705 Philippines $100,273 Taiwan $100,205 Indonesia $93,501 Pakistan $87,509 China $85,424 Viet Nam $72,161 Banglades h $67,944 Korea $65,674 Thailand $66,763 Burma $45,903 (a) The major reason we see such wide differentials in these incomes is discrimination. E.g., there is less discrimination in the U.S. against Indians and Filipinos than there is against Thais and Burmese. (b) Indians are on the top of the list because they work harder than the Pakistanis and Koreans. (c) The average ability of immigrants from a specific country to use the English language and their level of education likely explains a considerable proportion of these observed differences in income. (d) Immigrants are self-selected and constitute non-random samples of the populations of the countries from which they come. Thus, intelligent comparisons between immigrants from various countries or comparisons between immigrant groups, or between immigrant groups and native residents of the U.S., are difficult to make. (e) These are household incomes; some of these differences might disappear if we corrected for the number of earners in each household.
