Question 1
In Chicago, Illinois, a group of immigrant workers known as Busboys created a unique culture on how they work. The group came up with a unique culture that made them famous not only in Illinois but also in the entire country. Busboys created social networks that help them cope and survive while living in America. These social networks have been supportive of the provision of any information related to job opportunities in Chicago (Gomberg‐Muñoz, 2010). Furthermore, they are very supportive of disseminating information to immigrants and workgroups. However, busboys' social networks are different from social media networks like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (Gomberg‐Muñoz, 2010). Theirs works communicating through word of mouth. For example, somebody in Cuba might have a brother, nephew, or cousin working in the U.S. the one in the U.S would then convince his/her relative in Cuba to come to the U.S for better-paying jobs. 
Through such connections, busboys manage to pass information related to job opportunities to immigrants in the U.S or relatives and friends in the U.S. the reason why they have managed to create such a productive culture is just simple. When companies or organizations are about to hire new employees to their workforce, the existing employees are the first to know (Gomberg‐Muñoz, 2010). This gives them the advantage, and because of good work relations with their managers, they approach them and inform them about their relatives who can fill those job positions. The approach gives them control of the next person to fill the vacant position or new positions. Finally, the job has a high likelihood that it will be filled by one of their family members or friends (Gomberg‐Muñoz, 2010).
Moreover, in restaurants where employees take part in job hiring, it becomes an added advantage to them. Controlling jobs will work for them and employers. For them, they will continuously be notified by their employers every time job hiring is about to be conducted. Therefore, they take advantage and priority by monopolizing the flow of information (Gomberg‐Muñoz, 2010). For employers, they are always assured of quick replacement incase a particular job opportunity is left vacant. 
Most immigrant workers, like those in the busboys' group, the essential point in evaluating their job quality is the amount of salary they receive. With good wages, they eventually live in better apartments than the ones they could live in their home country. Immigrant workers move from one job position to the other if the job has more pay than the current (Gomberg‐Muñoz, 2010). Additionally, they believe that the U.S has well-paying jobs. Therefore, as they pass information to their friends and relatives in their home countries, they emphasize on the ...
