| Sumario: | This article documents the growing presence of highly educated and technically skilled Indian and Chinese immigrants in the Silicon Valley workforce. These immigrants are employed in the high-tech sectors of the economy at greater rates than the general population, are more likely to work in manufacturing than services, and have a greater degree of professional employment than the norm. Census and corporate data suggest that Indian-and Chinese-run businesses are already a substantial force in the Silicon Valley economy comprising almost one-quarter of high-tech firms. Finally this article provides examples of local networks that support entrepreneurial dynamism among these immigrant groups and explores the implications of this research for economic development policy.
