Abstract:

New York is a typical immigrant city, and every immigrant group has made more or less contributions to its expansions. "A Survey of New York's Ethnic Groups in 1992" has proven that the Jewish descendants have the greatest effect s upon the city's development, while the Spanish influence is the least. It is suggested that the status of an ethnic group is determined by its awareness of participating in political activities, economic position and public influence.

Key words: New York, immigrant, status of an ethnic group
