May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month

In 1978, a joint congressional resolution estab-lished Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week. The first 10 days of May were chosen to coin-cide with two important milestones in Asian/Pacific American history: the arrival in the Unit-ed States of the first Japanese immigrants (May 7, 1843) and contributions of Chinese workers to the building of the transcontinental railroad, completed May 10, 1869.

In 1992, Congress expanded the observance to a month-long celebration.

• 18.2 million - The estimated number of U.S. residents in 2011 who were Asian, either alone or in combination with one or more additional races.

• 5.8 million - The Asian alone or in combina-tion population in California in 2011.

The state had the largest Asian population, fol-lowed by New York (1.7 million).

The Asian alone-or-in-combination population represented 57 percent of the total population in Hawaii.

• 46 percent - Percentage growth of the Asian alone or in combination population between the 2000 and 2010 censuses, which was more than any other major race group.

• 4 million - Number of Asians of Chinese, except Taiwanese, descent in the United States in 2011.

The Chinese (except Taiwanese) population was the largest Asian group, followed by Filipi-nos (3.4 million), Asian Indians (3.2 million), Vietnamese (1.9 million), Koreans (1.7 million) and Japanese (1.3 million).

• $67,885 - Median household income for the Asian alone population in 2011.

Median household income differed greatly by Asian group.

For Asian Indians, for example, the median income in 2011 was $92,418; for Bangladeshi, it was $45,185.

• 12.8 percent - The poverty rate for the Asian alone population in 2011.

• 15.4 - Percentage of single-race Asians with-out health insurance coverage in 2011.

• 50 percent - The percentage of the Asian alone population 25 and older who had a bach-elor’s degree or higher level of education. This compared with 28.5 percent for all Americans 25 and older.

• 85.1 percent - The percentage of the Asian alone population 25 and older who had at least a high school diploma.

• 20.7 percent - The percentage of the Asian alone population 25 and older who had a gradu-ate (e.g., master’s) or professional degree. This

compared with 10.6 percent for all Americans 25 and older.

• 589,000 - The additional number of the Asian alone population who voted in the 2008 presidential election than in the 2004 election.

All in all, 48 percent of Asians turned out to vote in 2008 — up 4 percentage points from 2004.

A total of 3.4 million Asians voted.• 1.5 million - Number of businesses owned

by Asians in 2007, an increase of 40.4 percent from 2002.

• $506.0 billion - Total receipts of businesses owned by Asians in 2007, up 54.9 percent from 2002.

• 44.7 percent - Percentage of Asian-owned businesses that operated in repair and mainte-nance, personal and laundry services; profes-sional, scientific and technical services; and retail trade in 2007.

• 47.2 percent - Percentage of businesses in Hawaii owned by people of Asian descent.

It was 14.9 percent in California and 10.1 per-cent in New York. California had the most Asian-owned firms at 508,969 (32.8 percent of all such firms), followed by New York with 196,825 (12.7 percent) and Texas with 114,297 (7.4 percent).

• 264,695 - The number of the Asian alone population military veterans in 2011. About one in three veterans was 65 and older.

• 48.5 percent - The proportion of civilian employed single-race Asians 16 and older who worked in management, business, science and arts occupations, such as financial managers, engineers, teachers and registered nurses in 2011.

Additionally, 17.4 percent worked in service occupations, 21.1 percent in sales and office occupations, 9.6 percent in production, trans-portation and material moving occupations and 3.3 percent in natural resources, construction and maintenance occupations.

• 80 percent - Percentage of Asians in 2009 living in a household with Internet use — the highest rate among race and ethnic groups.

• 33.5 - Median age of the Asian alone or in combination population in 2011. The corre-sponding figure was 37.3 years for the popula-tion as a whole.

• 25.6 percent - Percent of the Asian alone or in combination population that was under age 18 in 2011, while 9.0 percent was 65 or older.

In 2011, there were 1.4 million native Hawai-ians and other Pacific Islanders who were U.S. residents. Hawaii had the largest population with 359,000, followed by California (329,000.)

Entertainment

It was just about the coolest thing you’d ever seen.

Most peo-ple might’ve described the old bottle as garbage. True, it was dirty and half-sticking out of the ground. Yes, it was junk. But there was writing on the side and a date on the bot-tom. It was blue and when the sun hit it just right, despite the dirt, you could see something awesome.

Yeah, most people would call that bottle “garbage,” but you call it a treasure. And in the new book “Kid Pickers” by Mike Wolfe (with Lily Sprengelmeyer), you’ll meet folks who would agree.

When American Picker Mike Wolfe was your age, he loved nothing more than “picking through junk.” His room, he says, was filled with “rusty gold.” He espe-cially loved bikes and old comic books.

“I never thought of it as junk,” he says. “To me, this was treasure.”

Picking is fun, you see, and becoming a Kid Picker is easy: having this book is a good start, and the tools you need are in your head. You shouldn’t even need a lot of money because some of the best finds are free or cheap. All you have to do is start looking for things that interest you.

Neighborhood garage sales are great places to pick. They’re also great places to practice using your bargaining skills, so you’ll need to know how

to negotiate. Don’t be afraid to bargain down because it never hurts to ask, right?

You’ll find a lot of great stuff at auctions, but that takes practice, lots of caution, and an adult’s help. Keep your eyes open and know what you’re bidding on, or you could end up with something you’d never want in a million years!

Thrift shops are pick-er’s paradise. Antique stores have tons of treasures. Flea markets don’t have real fleas, but they do have lots of goodies. You might also have good luck picking within your own family’s attic or barn. Then, no matter where you find your prize, try to find out more about it. Who owned it? Where did it come from? Is it worth

lots of money, or is it just cool?

And finally… what are you going to do with it?

Remember thinking you might strike it rich with something you dug out of a barn, a box, or a bucket of dirt? Give your kids those dream-ing possibilities, too, by giving them “Kid Pick-ers” to read.

Author and History Channel star Mike Wolfe speaks to the hearts of junk yard pups with a bit of biography and even more useful hints. I liked the encourage-ment that kids get here – including advice on pick-ing their family history – and I loved the pictures. I also think the profiles of other young pickers are just plain fun.

Alas, the words “ask permission” are some-what lacking here so,

before you send your kids out with this book, be sure to repeat them a few times. With that reminder fresh in their heads, 7-to-12-year-olds will find “Kid Pickers” to be a goldmine.
