Local NYC PBS station Channel 13 is highlighting how the city that never sleeps does it through videos featuring those that keep it moving.

New York on the Clock: Carlos, Coffee Man from Thirteen.org on Vimeo.

On the clock is a euphemism for on the job, working. Pero isn’t this how so many see Latino faces already in NYC and around the country? Immigrants who work? I guess I’m a little tired of what I see as the work personal divide. I want to know is Carlos making ends meet? Is he sending money back to Mexico? He works in a busy section of NYC catering to business types pero where does he live? Most likely in a community like where I live and that is the side that most people don’t see.
