Abstract
In this chapter, we summarize what is known about the socioeconomic attainments of Asian Americans. By socioeconomic attainment, we refer to the possession of scarce economic resources and social characteristics that are valued in society. Measures of socioeconomic attainment typically include (but are not limited to) education, occupation, hourly wages, annual earnings, household income, poverty status, home ownership, and wealth holdings. Socioeconomic attainment is extremely important because it is a major determinant of one's overall well-being.
