 Unlike earlier Zimbabwean students, many in the 1990s decided to remain in the United States after completing their studies, given the negative economic situation in Zimbabwe and the job opportunities that they could find in the United States.Thus, the majority of Zimbabweans who migrate to the United States are students and young professionals.In 2014, the Zimbabwean population in the U.S. was noted as one of "a strong skilled and non-skilled diaspora population" that is also focused in South Africa, the UK and Australia.
