Barbadian Americans
Barbadian (or Bajan) Americans are Americans of Barbadian heritage or ancestry. The 2000 Census recorded 53,785 US residents born on the Caribbean island〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Country-of-birth database )〕 52,170 of whom were born to non-American parents, and 54,509 people who described their ethnicity as Barbadian.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ancestry (total categories tallied) for people with one or more ancestry categories reported )〕 In the 2010 U.S. Census estimation report, over 100,000 to 150,000 Barbadian Americans live in the U.S. alone, the majority in the New York City area extending from Rhode Island to Delaware. In years gone some also moved to the areas of Chicago, Illinois〔(Barbadians ) The Electronic Encyclopedia of Chicago〕 and Boston, Massachusetts.〔(Caribbean Heritage Association, Boston - History )〕
==The first Barbadians in United States==
The first major wave of West Indian immigrants, including Barbadians, to the United States took place between 1901 and 1920, with a total of 230,972 entering the country. The majority were unskilled or semi-skilled laborers who came in search of economic opportunities. A substantial number were employed in low-paying service occupations and menial jobs that nonetheless offered higher wages than they could earn at home.
Between 1931 and 1950 West Indian immigration to the United States declined, due partly to an immigration restriction law that imposed a quota system heavily weighted in favor of newcomers arriving from northern and western European countries. The Great Depression was another factor in the drop in West Indian immigration, which reached a significant low in the 1930s.
A second wave began in the 1950s and peaked in the 1960s, when 470,213 immigrants arrived in the United States. More West Indians entered the United States during this decade than the total number that entered between 1891 and 1950. Between 1965 and 1976 a substantial number of immigrants from the Caribbean entered the United States, Barbados alone accounting for 17,400 of them. A large percentage of this wave of immigrants consisted of professional and technical workers forced to leave home because of limited economic opportunities in Barbados.
