Abstract: Chinese is one of the largest immigrant groups and one of the fastest growing immigrant groups in U.S, making it essential to study the occupational attainment of Chinese Americans. On the one hand, the recent immigrants from China have lower education achievement than earlier Chinese immigrants; glass ceiling also remains an obstacle for Chinese Americans to achieve leadership. On the other hand, the globalization enabled Chinese Americans to benefit from China’s development; the clustering in STEM fields also provides Chinese Americans with a more fair stage to challenge the whites. In this paper, I plan to use 2004 and 2014 IPUMS ACS data to examine how occupational attainment of Chinese Americans changes overtime, and how globalization and occupational clustering contribute to this change
