Overall across various age categories that come into the U.S. have an average of 13. 3 years of education under their belt. 16.4% of the Colombians surveyed had not completed their high school education.

The study looked at immigration into the United States over the last five years, which has recorded the highest numbers of new people entering in history. The study also includes information on health care access and rates of entrepreneurship.
