Abstract: This paper examines the developments and changes in the educational attainment of Chinese immigrants, and compares these developments and changes to those of American native workers throughout the second half of the twentieth century. I find that, on average, Chinese immigrants have more education than American native workers. Furthermore, using regression analysis, I find that if American native workers and Chinese immigrants have the same level of education attainment, then Chinese immigrants annual wages and salaries are lower than that of native workers. In other words, if American native workers and Chinese immigrants have the same salary, then Chinese immigrants have a higher educational attainment.
