Although maximizing route size was a way to grow business and make more money, why was this not a preferred strategy for many Mexican gardeners working in Los Angeles?
 
  a. They lack the entrepreneurial, business, and accounting skills to manage a large number of employees and customers.
  b. Since this is a business that mostly paid in cash, they had no way of keeping track of the money coming in, once their routes became too large.
  c. Over time, gardeners found that customers were getting cheaper in how much they would pay and their employees were becoming less reliable, making it more difficult to run a profitable business.
  d. Gardening is hard work and these men found that if their businesses grew too much they could not handle the physical toll it took on their bodies.

Question 2

Which of the following events was a turning point that allowed many Mexican gardeners to establish their own businesses in the United States?
 
  a. The election of Barack Obama because he immediately upon taking office made any Mexican working in this country a legal citizen.
  b. Changes in the labor laws in California that made it easier for any entrepreneur to establish his own business, without references or bank accounts.
  c. The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) in 1986, which offered amnesty/legalization to any formerly undocumented immigrant acted as a catalyst to allow these people to work legally.
  d. Changes in the child labor laws, because previously very young children were working as gardeners, and when the government made it impossible for these youngsters to work legally it opened the field to older people.
