Random Samplings: Immigrant Families and Educational Attainment
How do the foreign born and their children influence educational attainment statistics? For the first time in U.S. history, one-third (33.4 percent) of the population aged 25 and older are college graduates with bachelor's or higher degrees.

However, most people do not know that about one-quarter (25 percent) of the population age 25 and older are either foreign born, or have at least one foreign-born parent. Data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) shows that, on average, rates of college completion are not very different between the foreign born and native born.

There are profound implications for urban planning and property, if we're ready for them. The biggest growth industry for coming years and for the foreseeable future, the official forecasts all seem to agree on, will be in health care and social assistance. This includes professions such as surgeons, general practitioners, nurses, child care, aged care, various therapies and counselors, dental, and even laundry workers, cleaners and administrative support roles.
