The historical reasons for this are well known and have been discussed several times.
1. High rate of literacy among Jewish male population. Men were traditionally expected to read and study the Torah while women did the day-to-day work, which morphed into strong reading/writing skills as well as argumentation skills (the Kabbalah was meant to be debated). This skill set is directly applicable to the legal field.
2. Ability to speak several foreign languages. Jews were often between cultures and could communicate to other ethnic groups as well as their own. This makes doing business easier. In some sense, Jews were the first "citizens of the world."
3. Strong family structure. Even in Europe, Jews had an "us against the world mentality" in order to protect their unique cultural identity. Jews help other Jews. Jews hire other Jews. If one Jew gets hired to a non-Jewish firm, he will bring other Jews with him . . . but he only brings the talented ones.
4. Skills in certain fields. Even in Europe, Jews had become adept in certain profession by virtue of being banned form more "respectable" trades. There was already a long tradition of Jewish moneylending because it was considered immortal to charge interest. There are also more modern examples of this. In the US, it was considered a "dirty" business to run Vaudeville or operate a nickel theater. Jews were perfect for Vaudeville because their language skills allowed them to entertain several different immigrant groups. Jewish butchers did not mind running nickel theaters out of their delis and shyt. This eventually transformed into the Jews running the modern film industry.

5. For some Jews, the factors above were already in play when they grew up in Europe. Certain Jews arrived in America with a college education to start.
EDIT - every other reply in this thread is total garbage.
prolific posting-Jews historically had high literacy rates and were encouraged to engage in midrash.(Hence why I choose my username)
-Jewish rabbi were highly educated and were allowed to have wives and children. Christian priest weren't allowed to marry. This may seem insignificant but usually the best and the brightest were chosen to be the religious authority often in religious communities. Well what happens when the best and brightest can't reproduce? All of your smartest individuals die out leaving the less educated to reproduce.
-After the destruction of the temple in 70AD, there was a bit of a power struggle but it pretty much spread Jewish power. Jews had mandatory schooling and literacy which was a huge step at the time. The jews in power then mandated mandatory schooling which some of the farmers who weren't keen on wanting an education or were too poor to afford it either stayed and gritted their teeth or left to another religion. This was almost like a culling which left only smart, educated and financially stable jewish people as the poor jews and the ones who didn't want an education left to another religion.
-This intellectual power move made jews leave farming in mass. It incentivized them to go into other business ventures. Obviously things like banking, craftsmanship, etc was reinforced by high literacy rate. This really started the identity of the Jewish people as "The Choosen Few".
-Obviously the jews and banking situation with christans, everyone knows about that so I won't beat that dead horse.
-In the 20th century, Jewish migrants to the US were hungry to succeed and they wanted to be considered equal in a meritocratic society where there was still mass discrimination and antisemitism. Once field that they viewed this could happen was the field of science. Science itself is non-preferential in terms of race since it was simply a method of how we study the world. Jews weren't inherently smarter at science but they came to the field of science IN DROVES with a passion to gain their equality through scientific discovery, This allowed them to dominate the field of science like black people do with the NBA. All of a sudden, you had your Albert Einsteins and their ilk popping up left and right snagging Nobel Prizes like it was child's play.
-Obviously jewish people are very well connected to their community and didn't fall for none of that "strong independent single mom" bullshyt. They created strong family units and used it to their advantage to generate power through friction.
Jews aren't genetically smarter and black people can be just as good if not better but we have to study their moves and start taking a few notes. All this gang shyt and c00ning is destroying our sense of community and making us weak against systematic white supremacy.

Persistent segregation and an emphasis on literacy/education.What advantages?
Persistent segregation and an emphasis on literacy/education.
The segregation was forced from both outside and within, but yeah, it provided a foundation for strong group economics. Which is the key to their success.When you say persistent segregation do you mean forcefully separating themselves from every one else and keeping their resources and ideas as inclusive as possible?
A lot of powerful families like the Rothschilds claim to be Jewish, but they're not.
They belong to the synagogue of satan.

I'm gonna have to think about that one...Gotcha. What role do you feel the holocaust played in the international dominance of Jews today?
I've studied the jewish power moves to a letter and I've used it on my life to get where I am today at such a young age.prolific posting
