Any statistics about people who migrate legally to the USA and the kind of jobs that they want?

Question

I think that people from other countries who wish to come to the USA are not coming here to do low wages work.

Answer 1

I do know that legal immigrants are 4 times as likely to become a millionaire then a U.S. born citizen who grew up in a middle class home. I believe the reason for that is because many legal immigrants goals are to achieve the American dream and they work hard against the odds and eventually achieve it.

Answer 2

I believe that depends on where they come from. Immigrants tend to do very well in the US.

Answer 3

I can't give you actual statistics. Only observation. They do seem to get business loans privileges from our government, and I've noticed a lot of them seem to be in the Dry Cleaning Business....or....Convenient Stores....or....Chinese/Japanese restaurants. Also, I think  the Chinese are buying up some big business'. Other than that I'm not seeing it.

Answer 4

Most immigrants that come here legally are very well prepared and have great experience. Many are the best in their countries and they come here because the opportunities to grow and the wages are better. What kind of jobs? All industries. From health, energy, services, IT, business, entertainment, etc. The legal ones come to contribute tremendously to the US.
