8 Asians


This morning on NPR, Morning Edition, I heard the segment on “Chinese Restaurant Workers in U.S. Face Hurdles.” I didn’t realize that there were sooooo many Chinese restaurants in America:http://www.seafoodkingdomchinese.com/image/535514.jpeg

“There are about 40,000 Chinese restaurants in the United States — more than the number of McDonald’s and Taco Bells combined.”

The story goes on to describe the challenges of both legal and illegal (smuggled into the U.S. for up to $70,000) Chinese working in the Chinese restaurant business. New York City-based Sincere Employment Agency is profiled briefly – which helps place Chinese workers in restaurant jobs across the country – almost like migrant farm workers moving from one restaurant to another.

What next?
