  • 24 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A produce vendor sits among the produce he was selling and their price signs in Khlong Toei Market in Bangkok. Thailand entered a “technical” recession this month after the economy shrank by 0.3% in the second quarter of the year. The 0.3% contraction in gross domestic product between April and June followed a previous fall of 1.7% during the first quarter of 2013. The contraction is being blamed on a drop in demand for exports, a drop in domestic demand and a loss of consumer confidence. At the same time, the value of the Thai Baht against the US Dollar has dropped significantly, from a high of about 28Baht to $1 in April to 32THB to 1USD in August.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 28 MARCH 2012 - HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM:   Produce vendors in the Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Ben Thanh Market is a large market in the downtown area of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam in District 1. The market is one of the earliest surviving structures in Saigon and one of the city's landmarks, popular with tourists seeking local handicrafts, textiles,ao dais (Vietnamese traditional dresses), and souvenirs, as well as local cuisine. The market developed from informal markets created by early 17th century street vendors gathering together near the Saigon River. The market was formally established by the French colonial powers in 1859. This market was destroyed by fire in 1870 and rebuilt to become Saigon's largest market. In 1912 the market was moved to a new building and called the New Ben Thanh Market to distinguish over its predecessor. The building was renovated in 1985.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 28 NOVEMBER 2006 - SAN LUIS, AZ:  Farm workers harvest lettuce in fields northeast of Yuma, AZ. Farmers and agricultural producers around Yuma, AZ, are facing a growing shortage of farm workers. Increased border enforcement have deterred many illegal workers from seeking work in Arizona and long lines at the ports of entry for legal workers are leading to the labor shortage. Some labor contractors are reporting as much as a 40 percent shortage of farm workers, Yuma farmers planted 15 percent fewer acres this year, compared to last, because of the shortage. More than 100,000 acres of iceberg lettuce are cultivated in Yuma county and more than 50,000 people are employed as seasonal farm workers at the height of the harvest, which is December through February. Nearly 3,500 seasonal farm workers stand in line for up to two hours every morning at the San Luis, AZ, Port of Entry to enter the US legally to work in the fields. Experienced workers can make as much as $14 (US) per hour during the harvest.  PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 23 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:    A vendor sorts Kaffir lime leaves (Citrus hystrix DC., Rutaceae), also known as kieffer lime, makrut, or magrood in Pak Khlong Talad in Bangkok. Thailand entered a “technical” recession this month after the economy shrank by 0.3% in the second quarter of the year. The 0.3% contraction in gross domestic product between April and June followed a previous fall of 1.7% during the first quarter of 2013. The contraction is being blamed on a drop in demand for exports, a drop in domestic demand and a loss of consumer confidence. At the same time, the value of the Thai Baht against the US Dollar has dropped significantly, from a high of about 28Baht to $1 in April to 32THB to 1USD in August.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 23 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:    A vendor sorts Kaffir lime leaves (Citrus hystrix DC., Rutaceae), also known as kieffer lime, makrut, or magrood in Pak Khlong Talad in Bangkok. Thailand entered a “technical” recession this month after the economy shrank by 0.3% in the second quarter of the year. The 0.3% contraction in gross domestic product between April and June followed a previous fall of 1.7% during the first quarter of 2013. The contraction is being blamed on a drop in demand for exports, a drop in domestic demand and a loss of consumer confidence. At the same time, the value of the Thai Baht against the US Dollar has dropped significantly, from a high of about 28Baht to $1 in April to 32THB to 1USD in August.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
