The economic niches filled by immigrants in small businesses are not predictable based on what immigrants did in the old country
few Greeks ran restaurants in Greece
few Italians ran barber shops in Italy
no Chinese ran laundries in China
interchangeable
each European group found the niche that it did
yet they did open such businesses, hired fellow immigrants who learned the ropes and later went into business for themselves
these dissimilar businesses had common characteristics:
- none of them required large amounts of capital
- each was labor intensive
- each provided services to the general low-income public
