Middle Eastern immigrants are one of the most educated immigrant groups in America. 49 percent had at least a bachelor's degree, in 2000, compared to 28 percent of natives. The educated Middle Easterners are the skilled workers in the USA. They are engineers, doctors, teachers etc. They engage in self-employment at a high rate; of 19 percent of Middle Eastern immigrants own their own businesses while; only11 percent of natives do the same.
