Parental Education and Earnings

An interesting piece of data from PEW Research Center:
“Indian-born mothers of babies born in the U.S. are more likely than mothers from other countries to have a college degree and high incomes…
The Indian mothers were far more likely to be married – with just 1% of infants born out of wedlock, compared with 42% of babies of U.S.-born mothers….The Indian mothers were also more likely to have a college degree, with 87% holding one….Possibly due to their educations, India-born mothers were also more likely to have a high family income – their annual median income was $105,500. That is twice the median income of the mothers born in the U.S.”
