The 20 million second-generation Americans are substantially better off than their
parents on several key measures of socioeconomic attainment including income, educational
achievement and home ownership, according to a new Pew study. Rubén Rumbaut, professor
of sociology at the University of California-Irvine, and co-author of "Legacies: The
Story of the Immigrant Second Generation," will join The Daily Circuit Wednesday March
5 to talk about the study. John Mollenkopf, distinguished professor of political science
and sociology and director of the Center for Urban Research at the Graduate Center
of the City University of New York, will also join the discussion.
