We talk about the immigrant experience where second generation Americans express their appreciation and respect for what their parents went through to get them to where they are, whether it was working menial, low-paying jobs, multiple jobs, being underemployed, or being invisible to their employers. We talk about what occupations are likely to be filled by immigrant workers and what typical pay rates are. The future of the American workforce lies with the second generation, and their stories are similar to those other second-generation Americans back through the last century. You don't have to scratch very hard to find the immigrant in your own family. We also talk about how your parents' jobs can affect your own job choice. An episode of shared American experience.
