New Jersey:
The life expectancy of Asian-Americans in New Jersey alone is 91.8 where as that of other residents is 79.7 years as quoted in the report by Lisa Fleisher for Wall Street Journal. It also says that average life expectancy of Asian-Americans in the entire U.S. is an interesting 87.3 years. The Asian-Americans studied in the population mainly focus the people from East Asia, Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. In Jersey, 7.8% of the population is Asian, compared with 4.6% for the U.S., according to the 2009 Census.
Asian Americans in New Jersey manage an average remuneration of $50,069 and also manage a graduation or post graduation 2.5 times more than the general American population. The state where 7.8% of the population is Asian, compared with 4.6% for the U.S. and has become a magnet for well-paid, learned Asians because of its large pharmaceutical, chemical and communications industries, said Allan Punzalan Isaac, a professor at Rutgers University specializing in Asian- American cultural studies. The large Asian-American population is self-propogating. People immigrate to join friends and neighbors, thus establishing a large prop up network for the ethnic group, including Asian churches, grocery stores and restaurants.
New Jersey "offers everything you need in life: Good friends, good culture,except for a little bit of cold weather, I enjoy everything else." says Bhupendra Kapadia who moved away from New Jersey in the 1990s but moved back by 1996 and now retired.
