Starting in the late 1960s and now estimated at over 50,000, DFW area Koreans are catching up with other major cities in their numbers, professional areas, and number of entrepreneurs. They are rightly integrated into the North Texas civic, business, and social fabric. As such, they add economic and cultural value to the region. The Korean community offers 25 Korean classes, and large numbers of university students, engineers, and scientists work in major corporations. |
