Study finds African immigrants’ success in U.S. depends on nationality
An ongoing study by Dr. Kefa M. Otiso, geography, has shown that African immigrants in the United States are generally more educated and earn higher salaries than immigrants from elsewhere. The African immigrants’ success, however, depends on what country they come from, he has found.

Otiso began the study nearly six years ago. An immigrant from Kenya, he was interested to see how the nearly 1.5 million other African immigrants are “faring in the U.S., and how they are being incorporated into American society.”

“Many African immigrants are successful because of their good work ethic, focus and a drive to succeed that is honed by the limited socioeconomic opportunities of their native African countries,” Otiso said.
