The Chaldean American Business Community

The Metro-Detroit area is home to the largest Chaldean community outside of Iraq. Some estimates place the size of the community at around 120,000.

Chaldeans Americans for years have used their hard work ethics to continue to build a strong financial network. This has been due to their commitment to business and family. However, through the years, there has been no clear voice for Chaldean Business People. The community for years has demonstrated an interest in government affairs and promotion of business but has lacked a viable organization or Chamber to deliver this message.

Chaldean-Americans since their migration to America have had an entrepreneurial spirit. It is estimated two out of every three Chaldean-American families own their own business. Furthermore, Chaldean Americans are becoming more involved in the overall fabric of American society.

Chaldeans own an estimated 6,000 businesses in the State of Michigan. Aside from entrepreneurial endeavors, Chaldeans have branched out into various professions through higher education: teachers, lawyers and doctors. Below is an estimated number of businesses owned by members of the Chaldean American Community.
