Don't most of American mafiosi have jobs? I thought at least all bosses and capos are owners of companies, restaurants, or business agents for somebody etc. In Italy they are often unemployed, but that's because they spend much time as fugitives so nobody is able to control whether they have legitimate income.
Just about everyone had or has either a business or some sort of W-2 Job
Buffalo Capo Joe Falcone was an sports memerobelia dealer
Buffalo/Yticas Benny Carcone was the VP of a heating oil company
The Colombos Dominic Bretti ran an employment agency
The Buffalo turned Columbo's Jake Minnecone worked for a wholesale produce company
