Table for Zero

As the economy suffers so does the restraunt business. Fewer customers are going out to eat and the customers the businesses do have are ordering cheaper meals. This decrease in profits is forcing owners to lay off employes and even in some cases closing the business. This is really hurting the hispanic immigrant population that rely on the industry for entry-level work. In my opinion is that it will hurt college students sense many students have waitressing jobs while going to school.
