The Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community is one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in the United States. With a population of over 18 million, it is also the country's fastest-growing racial or ethnic minority group.
Asian Americans are also starting to get recognized for their contributions to the economy and society.

And they’ve been among the top 10 largest contributors to the North American economy since 1990, according to a study by Nielsen and Wunderlich Securities Incorporated.
