The research method used in this research is descriptive quantitative and perform calculations using SPSS 19.0 for windows. Descriptive analysis of the results of frequency on the attached table data, was found that the work ethic of ethnic Chinese traders in the category are likely to be low. this is due to other factors that affect the lifestyle, generational differences, type of work, and the influence of the results of the process of assimilation.
