Hope the GSS has such a variable.<BR/><BR/>We are always saying that entrepreneurship is a major gift that immigrants give to the US.RobertHumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913525250329418444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-1145832787256828892006-04-23T15:53:00.000-07:002006-04-23T15:53:00.000-07:00No - I looked it up and WI is slightly below the n...No - I looked it up and WI is slightly below the national average in % of pop. with bachelors or higher.

(You folks from Michigan can blame Ohio, and so on.) <BR/><BR/>If I get your point, I deliberately chose ethnic groups with samples large enough to produce stable findings. So if magically the number of Filipinos was much higher, the findings should be very similar.Ron Guhnamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421460508647618774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-1145797387084801052006-04-23T06:03:00.000-07:002006-04-23T06:03:00.000-07:00Is it not possible that this is skewed by quantity...Is it not possible that this is skewed by quantity? Referring back to your earlier post on regional intelligence, which cast an aspersion on Wisconsinites (I am one) - I note that Wisconsin has one of the highest average SAT scores in the nation. But fewer than ten per cent of WI students take that test. What if we had ten million Filipino immigrants? Would your rankings stay the same?Jeff Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18068021849429001560noreply@blogger.com
