      High-skill immigrants are great. But why aren't natives going into STEM at the same rates? Why aren't natives becoming entrepreneurs? Writing software? Creating jobs?https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1055131983729311744 …

      Why are skilled immigrants so good, and so important? Because they're the backbone of high-value industries where the U.S. has a dominant position. pic.twitter.com/KQEnRFExqA

          One is a selected set. The other is the general populace. The two are not comparable.

          Of course but the selected set is tiny and the general populace is huge! Thus, in addition to immigration, I think there is much to gain from thinking about how to increase the set of STEM creatives from the general pop.

          Share of us born men with advanced degrees was declining last time I looked into this. Not making a causal claim.

          "STEM" is losing its salience. Much heterogeneity lurks within.
