A recent study by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) has revealed that Indian migrants have established themselves as the largest group of educated immigrants in the United States, accounting for 14% of the global pool of educated migrants. This statistic highlights the growing influence and contribution of Indian nationals in the U.S. labor market and educational landscape. As of 2022, there were over 14 million college-educated migrants residing in the U.S., with a significant 48% of these individuals arriving between 2018 and 2022. Among them, approximately 2 million were Indian nationals, emphasizing India's pivotal role in shaping the demographics of educated immigrants.

The MPI report indicates that India and China are the top countries of origin for educated immigrants, with India representing 14% and China about 8%. Notably, during the specified period, 20% of new college graduates entering the U.S. hailed from India, showcasing the strong educational ties and aspirations of Indian students.

Further analysis of the data reveals that 68% of college-educated immigrants are under the age of 55, surpassing the 61% of U.S.-born graduates in the same age group. This trend reflects the younger demographic profile of educated immigrants, who often bring fresh perspectives and skills to the workforce.

In the fiscal year 2022-23, over 72% of approved H-1B visa petitions, which allow U.S. companies to employ foreign professionals, were granted to Indian workers. This statistic underscores the critical role that Indian migrants play in fulfilling the demand for skilled labor in various sectors across the United States.

Additionally, the 2022-23 academic year saw 1.1 million international students enrolled in U.S. higher education institutions, with a striking 71% of these students coming from Asian countries. India alone contributed 267,000 students, further solidifying its status as a key player in the international education arena.

The data underscores the significant impact of Indian migrants in the U.S. workforce and education system, highlighting their contributions to innovation, diversity, and economic growth. As India continues to produce a substantial number of highly educated graduates, the trend of migration is likely to persist, further enriching the U.S. cultural and professional landscape.
