Pakistan Among Top Sources of Foreign-Born STEM Workers in America

[Jango]

There are a lot more Filipinos, Taiwanese and Vietnamese immigrants in the US than Pakistanis.

The largest countries of origin for Asian immigrants in the United States are:

• India (2.7 million, or 19%)
• China, including Hong Kong (2.5 million, 18%)
• The Philippines (2 million, 15%)
• Vietnam (1.4 million, 10%)
• South Korea and North Korea (1 million, 7%)

There are less than half a million foreign-born Pakistanis in the US.

Besides, Indians dominate the H1B worker population in the US.

That's different.

The OP stat is regarding those who are foreign born. So even among the new generation who are coming, we aren't in greater numbers.

we might want to post separate stats for foreign born and 2nd generation immigrants. I doubt it exists

About 36% of Pakistani-Americans are US-born while the rest are foreign-born. By comparison, 29.1% of Indian-Americans and 34.3% of Asian-Americans are native-born and the rest foreign-born.

The article does make a distinction, so they must be somewhere.

Now whether that is private data or government data, no idea.

1- I am very impressed how you manage to get a stat for everything.

2- Native born means born in home country? Then what does non citizen mean?

@RiazHaq

Brofessor sb,

Enormous number of Indian STEM workers in the United States can at least partly be attributed to the fact that India's "body shops" have mastered the art of gaming the US temporary work visa system.

Do you think it would be a good idea for Pakistani body shops to master the art of gaming the H1B visa system?

The figures reported as India IT exports are in fact the wages earned by millions of Indian H1B workers in the United States.

As Comrade Deng said the colour of cat is unimportant, it must catch mice. It doesnt matter how we earn the dollars (as long as it is legit of course)- it earns income for our citizenry and adds to the national bottomline, forex reserves etc

Pakistan is ahead of India in nukes.

India is not in Top 5 in nukes.

So India not a nuclear power.

Pakistan is still ahead of India in nukes Even during these challenging times our Military did an outstanding job and did not compromise our security by keeping the Pakistan's nukes ahead of India's. Pakistan Zindabad, Azadi Paendabad! https://www.icanw.org/nuclear_arsenals

Because we have to target bigger country but they have enough agni3 and nukes to wipe out entire Pakistan 5-10 nukes are enough for Pakistan and we have no defenses against them

1% is not "top"

In @RiazHaq’s world it does. His source is an important blog owned by @RiazHaq, in which a world renowned analyst named @RiazHaq has written an article.

2- Native born means born in home country? Then what does non citizen mean?

Native born as opposed to naturalized. Native Born are citizens by birth. Naturalized are foreign-born who become US citizens after migrating to the United States.

They go abroad and work hard to contribute. In their own country they are losers and have no opportunity.

Should Pakistanis rejoice such stats that don't benefit them in the slightest?

Given an opportunity they will succeed.

Don't you get remittances from them?
How is that bad when you have $40 billion exports which is not helping your huge $80 billion imports? You are exporting services to offset the difference.
