Conclusions Self-employment rate of Korean-Americans (KA) in the Chicago area is declining. Declining occupations = retails, restaurants, dry-cleaning, etc. Popular occupations = personal care, financial and professional services, etc. The gap between the poor and the rich KAs has grown. Home ownership declined; so did the price.
