Demographics, Research, and Analysis
The John D. Calandra Italian American Institute continues with its project in demographics, research, and data analysis. The Italian Diasporas: Data Snapshot series provides information regarding a variety of characteristics related to the Italian diaspora. These summaries and more extensive reports answer questions such as:
What sets the Italian diaspora apart from those of other ethnic groups?
What distinguishes the Italian diaspora across the countries of immigration?
Are there significant differences in patterns of assimilation and acculturation for the Italian diaspora?
In the last Data Snapshot, we presented educational attainment. Now the focus is on the college majors that students pursue. This data is only for bachelor degrees. Majors are further broken down by gender. Also provided is the Median Personal Income for the top majors in the United States evaluated with regard to gender and ethnicity (Italian American versus Non Italian American).
The October Data Snapshot will present a more detailed look at related Italian American demographics and follow up on the previous reports.
The Institute invites you to share suggestions for future snapshots and reports.
