Are newly arrived fobs making Somali statistics in the west look bad?

Are they ruining Somali stats?

they bring down the total income. like I said in another thread, a good portion of the people who grew up here now have decent paying jobs, but there are also a lot of new immigrants who work more menial lower paying labor jobs (nothing wrong with it, but it does affect the total somali household income for those who wonder why we're on the bottom)
 
They are our brothers & sisters, but I guess some of them can be embarrassing and we also don't really click well it's like our behavior and mentality is a bit different.

Those who arrived in the West after age 30-40 are the biggest drag on Somali socioeconomic statistics. They often remain on welfare for their entire life. Some of them may have been in the West for over 30 years now.

So not just fobs, but also long term folks who just stay on welfare. Mainly boomers or gen x generation diaspora Somalis.

I heard London was a great place for Somalis until there was a big refugee intake in 2006 ever since then it’s been downhill is what my cousin told me.
