McKinsey released a new study on “Asian American workers: Diverse outcomes and hidden challenges.” Some key findings are that 8.8 million Asian American workers are split evenly across three main ethnic subgroups: East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian. While there is high Asian American representation in “higher-wage technical fields such as software development and computer programming”,” they are also “overrepresented in low-paying occupations such as manicurists and skin care specialists, cooks, and sewing-machine operators.” Some subgroups reveal significant pockets of poverty. And despite filling many corporate jobs, Asian Americans’ presence drops off significantly at senior levels, particularly for Asian American women. (McKinsey, NBC News)
