Arab Americans: migration, socioeconomic and demographic characteristics

E T Nigem. Int Migr Rev. 1986 Fall.

Abstract

"This article examines the status of Arab Americans in the United States in light of their migration history and selected demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Using the 'Ancestry question' to define this group, and data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census and other secondary sources, the findings indicate that Arab Americans, although a recent group, share similar migratory forces with other emigrant groups. However, they are above the national average in terms of socioeconomic status."
