This article extends an earlier investigation of differences among European immigrant groups in the United States in the extent to which they convert educational attainment into income. The size of the sample has been significantly enlarged, making it possible to include more ethnic groups and to increase the number of factors taken into account. The present analysis examines the conversion of educational achievement into income and into occupational status. Special attention is focused on the earlier finding that, among second-generation immigrants, those with only the father foreign born are most effective in converting education into earnings
