Mexico’s Carny Town

Friday, 03 January 2014 | by Pat's Picks

The face of the carnival worker running America’s fairs is changing. The Washington Post travels to the town of Tlapacoyan in eastern Mexico, home to about 3,000 people who each year venture out on the road to staff carnivals in the United States. They come to the U.S. on temporary work permits, earning $350 to $400 a week, much more than farm workers.
