You can use a dataset to assess the education levels within a state. The dataset can be accessed online and provides a range of metrics regarding education levels within a state. This can be used as a comparison of the educational attainment among native and nonnative citizens. This information can help determine how prepared a state is for future job opportunities.
Natives have higher education levels than immigrants, but they are less educated than immigrants.
Although most natives have some degree of education, the educational level of many immigrants is far lower. For example, immigrants might have a high school diploma or no education at all. This could be an advantage for certain jobs, as immigrants may have a better grasp of manual skills. Language skills are another advantage that immigrants have, and may make them more competitive within certain industries.
In Poland, a study found that immigrants from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union had lower education levels than their native counterparts. Immigrants from the MENA area had the greatest educational gaps. There were more than two years of difference between those who completed school and those who didn't.
In general, immigrants who have received foreign degrees had lower education attainment levels than natives. These immigrants were also less likely complete a bachelor’s degree or more. In addition, first-generation immigrants were less likely to complete a college degree than those from native parents.
They compete for jobs with foreign workers
The United States labor market is suffering from a shortage skilled workers, especially those with higher education. Over the past three decades, the demand for skilled workers has grown dramatically, but the supply has not kept pace. Employers are often frustrated when they can pay high wages but cannot find qualified workers back home. They often look for foreign workers, offshoring their jobs, and lobbying for more restrictive immigration policies.
They have lower rates of home ownership
In the last decade, 30 percent of homeowners have less than a highschool diploma. This trend is primarily driven by economic factors. The US population has grown more unevenly and there are fewer high-paying jobs. In addition, housing prices are rising. Many homeowners who do not have a high school diploma are being priced out of the housing marketplace. Many of these homeowners were also victims in predatory lending.
The relationship between educational attainment and homeownership is getting increasingly important. In 1990, this gap was only 15%. It is now at 28 per cent. A factor in homeownership is also higher incomes. The homeownership rate for the lowest-income brackets is 40 percent lower than that of those in the highest income brackets.
