Fascinating! What was the average wages for a worker back then, for comparison?

The more I think about it, the more I find that nearly all the non-chain breakfast places, delis, and bagel shops around me in the south SF Bay Area are all owned and run by Asian immigrants as well. Seems to be a continuing American tradition!
