The descendants of immigrants to the United States from Europe did not attain significantly more education than would have been expected if their families had remained in their homelands, according to a new study. The largest educational gains were achieved by descendants of immigrants from Poland and Italy, while people whose ancestors migrated from England and Germany gained the least.
