How is this possible?

[grndprx08]

If you are willing to work hard at a job that requires little language proficiency, little higher education, little technical prowess, for less money then it seems entirely possible. With all due respect to the highly trained massage therapists out there whose training puts them just short of a medical professional, the majority of massage seekers are probably just looking for a simple rubdown. That is not as tough a job to master especially if you have had prior training/work experience in your home country. It also doesn't require a significant capital investment. If you want the higher pay that affords us the "American" lifestyle, then you have to do something that people are willing to compensate you that well for. Very few of us pay more for what we want than we have to but we clearly pay up if there is an actual or perceived difference in the product.

Immigrants force those Americans who are already here to step up their game which is a good thing that will keep this country strong.

You essentially asked:

"How is it possible Legit Asian MPs are opening & our Legit MPs have less business??"

We used to make legit TVs and now they are Asian.

We used to be the main car makers, and now Japan, Korea and soon China will overtake.

We used to make VCRs, Maytag washers/driers, Air Conditioners, furniture and now
its mostly Asian.

Legit massage is very profitable with not that much additional education, and the
additional education is not that costly.

The Asians noticed that.
And you can get in more easily without appointments to the Asian places.

Not certian if they truly know the muscle groups as well as ours do.

no luck here....if you were looking for extras at these spots - you would have wasted time and money....but maybe that's their angle.

Ok going through craigslist and backpage I've counted 9 Asian massage parlors in the Harrisburg Mechanicsburg area.

Asian Massage Therapy - North Mountain Road, Linglestown
Synergy Bodyworks Massage Therapy - Briarscrest Square, Hershey
Synergy Bodyworks Massage Therapy - Market Street, Camp Hill
Sakara Spa - Hartzdale Road, Camp Hill
Oriental Massage - West Chocolate Ave, Hershey
Professional Asian Massage - Fourth Street, Harrisburg
Ruby's Massage Therapy - Trindle Road, Mechanicsburg
Mei Jian - South 3rd, Lemoyne
Asian Massage - Market Street, Camp Hill


Two of which (Sakara, Mei Jian) seem to have opened up just recently, and yet I haven't heard of a single one of these places offer any sort of extras, how's this possible?

I recently went to a legitimate massage parlor (non Asian) and saw the regular lady that gives me massages and I was talking to her and she said that she and most of the other massage therapists have gotten a second jobs because business for massages is way down in this economy.

And yet two more Asian massage parlors open up that don't seem to be offering any extras? How can this be happening if other licensed massage therapist are getting second jobs to support themselves?

The other thing is, most of these massage parlors are opened up late like 9:30, 10:00, 10:30 and yet seem to be totally legit.

Has anybody had luck in getting extras at any of these places?
