But their economic impact is much greater.<\/strong> They are far more likely to be involved in technology jobs than other ethnic groups, constituting over 20% of employees in the nation\u2019s leading technology companies, four times their share of the overall U.S. workforce. And then there\u2019s the line of connections to the most dynamic economies on the globe: India, South Korea, Singapore and, of course, China.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Asia has become the nation\u2019s largest source of newcomers, accounting for some 36% of all immigrants in 2010.<\/strong> Asian immigrants and their U.S.-born descendants tend to be better educated: half of all Asians over 25 have a college degree, almost twice the national average. They earn higher incomes, and, according to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, are more likely to abide by \u201ctraditional\u201d values, with a stronger commitment to family, parenting and marriage than other Americans, and a greater emphasis on education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost Asian immigrants bring with them a healthy respect and aspiration for the American way of life, so I don\u2019t think any immigration alarmists need to be anxious,\u201d notes Thomas Tseng, founding principal at New American Dimensions, a Los Angeles-based marketing firm. \u201cWith a large influx of them, you will get a lot of their kids in the school system who are told that getting an education is the surest way for them to succeed in life, a great deal of entrepreneurial energy and new businesses in a region, and most certainly the local restaurant scene will improve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asians are increasingly headed to regions that, until recently, had very few Asian immigrants. A<strong>nd throughout the country, Asians, following a trend that has been developing over the past two decades, appear to be settling primarily in the suburbs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Although greater New York\u2019s Asian population grew by an impressive 500,000, up 40%, our analysis of the 2010 Census numbers found a higher rate of growth \u2014 more than 70% \u2014 in   relatively new destinations, Dallas and Houston.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a
