With more than 20 million immigrant women and girls in the United States this important section of the workforce has built up to a formidable presence in the US society and US economy. Immigrant women come from every corner of the globe and even outnumber the immigrant men population. It has been observed that women are more likely than men to come to the United States following the family-based immigration system, and nearly half of them turn out to be naturalized US citizens. Foreign-born women account for 15 per cent of all employed women over the age of 16 in the United States. From these women more than a quarter of immigrant women have a bachelor’s degree or more, with Indian women being the most highly educated, followed by those from the Philippines and China. Despite their high educational qualifications and hard work they still earn a lot lesser than foreign –born men, and even lesser than native-born men and women.

Given the huge numbers, challenges and diversity encountered by these women the scale of their economic contributions cannot be denied.
