Introduction
The United States offers the newcomer more economic flexibility than any other country. This is not to say that making a living in the United States is easy. It is not. It can be very difficult to find a job in the United States, especially for someone who doesn't speak English well. American workplace customs can also be difficult to learn and understand. What is true about the American economy is that it is so large, so changeable, that an ambitious person can always find some way to make money often a great deal of it.
