With high salary and low threshold, nursing workers have become an employment hotspot for new immigrants in the Chinese community of New York. Finding a job is the top priority for new immigrants after coming to the United States. However, due to language barriers and lack of relevant professional qualification certificates, many Chinese immigrants are disappointed when looking for job opportunities. Which kind of jobs are in the highest demand and have relatively low thresholds? Nowadays, as more and more elderly people live alone in New York, the demand for nursing workers has also increased. Moreover, nursing workers have low entry barriers, stable jobs and high salaries, making them a popular occupation for new immigrants. In the early years, new Chinese immigrants who first came to the United States preferred to find jobs in restaurants or garment factories. However, as the income in the restaurant industry is unstable and benefits are poor, and the garment industry has moved away from the United States, such jobs have gradually become less popular among new immigrants. Today, there are tens of thousands of senior citizens in Chinatown, and their daily physical care and health care needs are in great demand for caregivers. In many employment agencies, nursing workers have become the industry with the highest demand. New Chinese immigrants have just arrived, have language barriers, and do not have professional qualification certificates. However, as long as they sign up and pay a few hundred yuan and participate in a two-week training class, they can obtain a home care worker qualification certificate and start employment immediately. Shirley Huang, the Asian marketing director of Kornhill Home Care, said that there are many elderly people living alone in New York, especially in Chinatown. Many elderly people refuse to move out of state to live with their children because they want to stay in the convenient Chinese community. And care for the elderly is also included in the New York State White Card service items, which provides many opportunities for new immigrants who speak Chinese. Zhao Wensheng, a consultant at Liancheng Office, said that the nursing industry has low pressure and good salaries and benefits, but the relevant regulations are also very strict. Arriving late, doing work for others, defrauding wages by taking care of immediate family members, and stealing are not uncommon among Chinese caregivers. Many immigrants have been fired for violating relevant industry regulations. Taking care of the elderly requires one-to-one care, which provides job opportunities for many new immigrants. However, it is very important to strictly abide by relevant regulations, standardize practice, provide formal training and improve professional ethics.
