Caribbeanization in New York

They also had men led families, and the connection of the two parent families helped the community to attain the global game and further earned America more funds due to a higher median income per household as compared to other immigrants and the whites. The Immigration Act of 1965, as well as the strong relationship between the two-parent families, influenced the ability of these immigrants to survive in New York actively. Background information indicates that the development of the United Fruit Company had been critical in the increased number of these immigrants in New York to provide labor and earn salaries. These immigrants filled the United States after the eruption of the First World War to provide the necessary energy in the factories.

Furthermore, the Second World War lacked effectual labor and hence gave room for the Caribbean immigrants to spread across Britain to fill the gap (Wilson, Basil, 40). These factors prompted the American government to seek further intervention programs that will be able to help the immigrants in term of education. An efficient comparison of the African Americans who were able to complete college in large numbers was needed among other groups of immigrants to help them address their high levels of poverty. Caribbean nation influences The significant influence among the Caribbean immigrants was that primary households were led by women and men hence a two-parent family triumph. Majority of the women workers fared well concerning competition in New York City. Due to an increased level of competition, these immigrants were able to earn more income as compared to the rest of the immigrants in the city.

Due to this acceptance, Caribbean males and female got actively involved in the labor force with the aim of improving their social and economic status (Butterfield, Sherri-Ann P, 300). Majority of these immigrants were very hard working, and hence they managed to participate in the labor force in America actively. Though their family structure was not very strong as compared to that of the Chinese immigrants, the active involvement of males and females in the labor force helped them to earn income and adapted to the new environment. After being allowed into America, Caribbean immigrants wanted to use the opportunity to make high salaries and improve their family development. This is the reason why they worked hard to the point that they contribute $52,000 median income per household outnumbering the median income of the whites.

School drop-outs were higher among the black population, but the Puerto Rican rate was a bit better. The examination of educational achievement indicates that Caribbean immigrants were above the Puerto Ricans, African Americans, and Dominicans as well as the communities in South America. Various Chinese and Russian cities, as well as the indigenous whites, overtook the Caribbean regarding educational achievement. The Caribbean influences were confident because they enabled the city to actively participate in the labor force hence increasing the median income per household, decreasing rates of poverty, developing strong family relations and further helping them to engage in the labor forcefully.
