on the surface, i'd agree with you.

but thinking a moment about it, do you really expect that the folks in south central (excuse me, south) los angeles etc are going to flip burgers? not.

it's not going to happen.

there are some black kids working in los angeles area restaurants, as well as white, but predominately mexicans out number everyone.

today, i had lunch in temecula at a carl's jr. i noticed a sign on the wall advertising for help:

> general mgr., $30-45,000 / yr.
> restaurant mgr., $28-35,000 / yr.
> shift leader, $8-10.75 / hr.
> crew, $6.75-8.50 / hr.

Is the cost of living really high in LA? That salary for a general manager is far above the starting rate on the east coast, at least my area. That's actually not a bad salary.

It's very likely they won't even hire American kids in some of those places because they can't speak Spanish ---and in some areas that is number one requirement. Kids here ---hispanic and non-hispanic complain they are told they don't speak Spanish well enough by employers.
