Among all 25- to 34-year-olds living in the United States, 10.6 percent of those with masters, professional or doctoral degrees are foreign born, compared with 8.5 percent of native-born young people....

That is pretty funny and it demonstrates the kind of math skills to be found in the WH and from other 0bama sycophants. In the equation the group being measured is ...

...those with masters, professional or doctoral degrees...

It is stated that 10.6% of that group are foreign born and 8.5% are native-born. Who comprises the other 80.9% of the group? Time travelers from the future who have not been born yet?

It is stated that 10.6% of that group are foreign born and 8.5% are native-born.

Syntactically it doesn't even say that. According to the syntax two subsets of resident 25-34 year olds are compared. Those with advanced degrees and those that are native born.

Among the first group 10.6 % are foreign born. Among the second group 8.5 % are ... what? By parallel construction, foreign born!

In other words, the paragraph is incoherent.
