Filipinos Are Ballin'

by Malou Liwanag-Aguilar

A new analysis of data from the 2007 American Community Survey (ACS) recently showed that Filipinos in the United States remain among the top earners among immigrants or foreign-born residents.

Among the foreign-born, those from India, South Africa and the Philippines have the highest median household incomes.

Other information in the data also revealed that majority of the Philippine foreign-born USresidents are in the labor force, or 68.6 percent. Forty-two percent of them are in management, professional and related occupations, while less than 1 percent or 0.3 percent are in farming, fishing and forestry occupations in the US.Almost 82 percent are said to be private wage and salary workers, while less than a percent, or 0.1 percent are unpaid family workers.

This shows that 69 percent of Filipinos can afford to own a house, while the rest are renting.
