This video examines the median household income gap between Indian immigrant households in the United States ($176,200 per year) and Caribbean immigrant households, including Jamaicans ($66,500 per year). It uses data from the Migration Policy Institute's 2024 analysis, Pew Research Center, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' fiscal year 2024 H-1B records. The analysis traces how three policy decisions β€” the 1948 Windrush recruitment, the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act, and the H-1B visa category β€” placed Caribbean and Indian workers on structurally different economic pathways before they ever arrived. The video applies a comparative framework across India, Jamaica, Nigeria, and the Philippines to argue that diaspora income gaps are outcomes of immigration architecture and network capital formation, not talent, culture, or ambition. All income figures are drawn from the same Migration Policy Institute dataset using the same methodology and year.
