Main Article Content
Abstract
This study is a survey of Greek-American professionals focusing on the
established professions, i.e., medical doctors, lawyers, and academics with emphasis on the latter. The analysis was based on qualitative (historical) and quantitative (survey-type) data. The former was used to assess the historical antecedents of the contemporary Greek-American professionals. The latter was
used to analyze a selective number of socio-demographic and professional
variables of 3,549 Greek-American professionals mostly academics, doctors,
and lawyers. It was found that a Greek-American professional class is in the making which commenced following World War II. In addition, sources of professional recruitment, socio-demographic profiles, and social correlates of those
born in the U.S. and/or Greece are examined.
