Immigrant families prioritized education, leading to an increase in high school and college graduates who entered New Jersey's workforce as skilled professionals, particularly in STEM, healthcare, and education.

The growth of immigrant populations led to the expansion of festivals and cultural events (e.g., Lunar New Year celebrations, Peruvian parades), attracting visitors and enhancing New Jersey’s reputation as a cultural hub.
