Of those in America, more than 85% of them have completed High School and 62% have some college level education. This, of course, makes for high numbers of East Indians in the American workforce, with 72.3% of East Indians actively working, while 57.7% of those employed hold managerial and professional jobs (Embassy of India, 2009). These people have fully taken advantage of the American dream, making many contributions to the American workforce while providing for themselves quite well while doing so. East Indians in America even tend to make approximately $20,000 more per year than the national average (Embassy of India, 2009).
At EB Games, the Human Resources department is very familiar with East Indian employees and their contributions to EB’s workplace. While they do not keep specific statistics about ethnic heritage, the Director of Human Resources was able to confirm that they hire many East Indians in all areas of their company (personal communication, June 3, 2009). There are about a dozen Indians working in their head office, which is made up of only about fifty employees as it is. In their distribution centre, the majority of employees are East Indian, mostly women, and their stores have a fair number of East Indians working in them as well. For the most part, these employees tend to prove themselves very well to EB Games, as they tend to have a strong work ethic and contribute as well as any of their co-workers, if not better. There have never been any serious problems with East Indian employees working with people of a different race at EB Games (J. Tadier, personal communication, June 3, 2009).
