In fact the article addresses this: "laborers were underrepresented [among Danes travelling to the US] and artisans and craftsmen were overrepresented by a factor of two. It is perhaps no wonder that the ethnic Danes in the U.S. are relatively high earners, because they are the results of a process of positive selection". You'd expect Americans in Scandinavia to be better off than average Americans, too | |

Using "home country" in the question doesn't accurately reflect the claim, since it is talking about descendants of Scandinavians in the US, not immigrants per se.

You might not agree with the claim, which is perfectly fine, but coloring the question induces bias. Our questions need to be useful also for the next person coming through a search engine. | |
