Highly educated immigrants in US face occupational under-placement based on origin
The study looked at how educated immigrants in the U.S. end up in different jobs based on their country of origin. They found that immigrants from Latin America and Eastern Europe are more likely to work in low-skilled jobs compared to those from Asia and industrial countries. Factors like the quality of education in their home country and U.S. immigration policies play a role in this. Conflict in their home country can also affect their job placement. Cooperation between countries and recognizing qualifications could help improve the situation for educated immigrants in the U.S.
