This data is evolving quickly, as recent generations of Somali Americans have been completing higher education and advancing economically. It’s also important to note that the figures may not fully reflect households receiving government assistance while earning unreported income. From my personal observations, Somali Americans are doing significantly better economically today than they were just a decade ago.

Many younger generation Somalis are entering high-demand fields such as technology and healthcare, where they are earning high incomes.

Yea were ranked at the bottom because most of our families came here as broke refugees. 1st and 2nd gen Somali Americans are raising the average just by obtaining better paying jobs. Our parents are the ones that are primarily stuck working low wage jobs.

Apparently it was like 30 something thousand just ten years ago, so the fact it’s around the 50k threshold now is wild. Besides, half of all American Somalis are under 25. Of course they’re going to be broke, they’re young and our parents came here as impoverished and poorly educated refugees. Were doing phenomenally in school now so by the time my generation are middle aged, we should be in the middle class, providing we don’t all get thrown out of the country.

First Your comparing refugees to economic migrants to refugees unfair comparison secondly these stats are mainly for our parents generation half of Somalis in America are under 25 and the median income has risen by almost 20k since 2010 lastly almost 50k Somalis where brought from 2009-2016 that will obviously impact stats a lot

people like Cape Verdeans have been in the Boston area for over 100 years in large numbers we will see a big change in numbers by the 2030 census

How is this measured? Is it self reported? Our people are notorious for under reporting their income/finances.

Yeah but its not a good look at all, really tired of it

Considering how Somalis have been there for less then 30-20 years, I see it as growth
