  7. After WWII, many Japanese-American families who returned to California faced ruin. Prewar, Japanese-Americans thrived in agriculture, small businesses, and local ethnic economies. By 1940, they ran hotels, grocery stores, farms—significant economic contributors. Post-internment, however, many had lost their farms, homes, and businesses. For example, in Los Santos, only 17.5% of Japanese-Americans returned to family businesses by the late 1940s, down from 72% before the war. The economic effects of internment were lasting. Nisei who stayed in poorer camps or areas saw 9–13% lower earnings years later, and communities such as San Fierro’s Japantown shrank dramatically due to displacement and migration. With the collapse of their economic base, many Nisei took jobs as janitors, gardeners, domestic workers—even when they had once owned businesses or farms. Poverty has climbed additionally for some in recent years, with the California Poverty Measure estimating that over 13% of residents fall below the poverty line—with housing costs factored in, the effective rate rises to over 20%, the highest in the nation. Among Asian Americans in California, approximately 23% of Asian American and Pacific Islander workers are described as "struggling with poverty"—with Japanese Americans included in that figure (~22%), particularly in low-density neighborhoods. For those living under twice the federal poverty level, food insecurity affects roughly 26.5% of low-income Japanese Americans, meaning one in four households may struggle with basic needs like groceries.
