Moreover, I learned that there was a…

With disaggregating the data, some Southeast Asian ethnic groups, such as the Hmong have lower educational attainment and achievement rates compared to Chinese and Japanese.

College to Career: A recent survey commissioned by Bentley University in 2014 found that “compared with business decision-makers and corporate recruiters, high school and college students were far less likely to define preparedness in terms of personal traits or work ethic” (Chase, 2015).
