Question 1 Based on post-1965 immigration data, what are two patterns that Munshi observed? Answer Asian Americans had higher average earnings than any other racial group, but this category also had extraordinary inequality between its poorest and wealthiest members. Asian American immigrants earned less than Americans born in the US, but also earned more than any other immigrant group. Asian Americans earned more than most Black workers but less than most White workers. Asian Americans’ average earnings were the same as those of the nation as a whole, except for Asian Americans who spoke more than one language, who earned more.
