I think the problem with recruitment also is because of where these guys live. If you're a 5 families/ Decavalcante guy; you don't live in Ozone Park or Bay Ridge or North Ward Newark. These areas are majority ethnic, no hiring pool there. Today's made guys live in Caldwell or Rockland County or some other "nice" suburbia township. Your next door neighbor is an Insurance Salesman and your wife shops at Walmart. It's not like the old days where made guys lived in the areas they work. I think that has a big effect on recruiting or hiring or whatever you're gona call it.
Your point is well taken. But there are plenty of Italians still in Bay Ridge. Not like old days, but not completely gone like Newark or South Ozone.
