I don’t think it has much to do with being used to living at a lower wage. I don’t think blacks, Hispanics or whites who work at 7-Elevens take the jobs because they’re more used to living a lower-end lifestyle. When immigrants get here, they take whatever jobs they can get. If that means working below their qualifications at home, so be it. Being in the United States provides more opportunities for the future and may mean sacrificing some in the short term. Furthermore, I think immigrants really like the idea of owning their own business. Franchises are a quick way to set something up. I’d guess that most small, independently owned shops (whether franchises or truly independent) are run by recent immigrants. It’s a cultural aspiration for many immigrants to own their own business. It’s what’s seen as the American dream, really: to have a business that’s completely yours and be your own boss.
