A story went down the AP wire a while back about immigrants, mostly from China, who had high-profile jobs in their home countries but are now working entry-level casino jobs in Foxwoods Casino.

It's a good human interest story, but I found the original story, from the Norwich Bulletin, and was interested to find the article was somewhat more detailed than the AP version, and more notably left out this quote:

Instead, Wang moved to Norwich in August 2001, and began work at Mohegan Sun. But even as a cleaning attendant, his casino job pays more than his engineer job in China. He makes $300 per week at Mohegan, compared to $200 a month at home.

"I am so happy," he said of his job.

The shorter AP version left me less sure as to the attitudes of Wang and others. Even now, I'm not sure they all are so happy about their jobs, but this quote makes it seem that Wang, at least, is happy. Link to the original Norwich Bulletin story
