American Jews are the country's highest earning religious group, according to a research study released this week, with 46 percent of Jewish respondents reporting annual incomes of $100,000 or more.
The far-ranging
study conducted by the Washington D.C.-based Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life also showed that Mormons and Muslims were the U.S. religious groups with the largest families. More than one in five Mormons and 15 percent of Muslim adults in the United States have three or more children living at home, the research showed.
Seventy-two percent of Jewish respondents said they had no children, the highest such percentage recorded by the Pew Research
A close second to Jews in the income rankings of U.S. religious groupings were U.S. Hindus, 43 percent of whom said they earned six-figure annual incomes.
According to the study, nearly half of Hindus in the United States and a third of Jews have attended graduate schools
compared with only about one-in-ten of the adult population
