| 1986f | (369) At first, they also worked on the railroads. As these jobs disappeared, they began to work on farms. In time, they bought lands that nobody else wanted and turned them into fertile areas. (499) The Japanese came later, in the 1880s and 1890s. They, too, were limited to such jobs as small farmers, cannery workers, gardeners, and servants. |

| 1990c | (483) Most Japanese immigrants took up farming or fishing, but some found work in industry or opened small shops in some of the cities of California. |
| 1990d | (699) Coming first as unmarried males working on western railroads and in Pacific Coast canneries, mines, and logging camps, immigrants from Japan increased from 25,000 in the 1890s to 125,000 between 1901 and 1908. |

| 1992g | (150) In the 1880s and 1890s, Japanese immigrants began to arrive in large numbers. Many Chinese and Japanese immigrants became factory workers, shopkeepers, or fruit and vegetable farmers. |
| 1993a | (558) Segregated in communities of their own, Asians and Asian-Americans, with few exceptions, could find only marginal employment. That was true also of Hispanic-Americans, most of them agricultural workers in the Southwest. |

| 1994c | (455) Many Japanese saved enough money to travel to California and become successful farmers there. (498) Japanese immigrants quickly began to buy or rent farmland of their own. Entire families worked long, tough hours in the desert sun. Other Japanese immigrants branched out into the fishing and canning industries. The Japanese grew successful as they became producers as well as suppliers and distributors of many different goods. |

| 1996b | (367) The immigrants varied widely in age, marital status, and other social characteristics, but certain traits stand out. Approximately two-thirds of the newcomers were men, especially after 1900, and about two-thirds were between the ages of fifteen and thirty-nine. Not all groups were eaually educated, but almost three-fourths of the immigrants could read and write, at least in their native languages. About half identified themselves as unskilled laborers or domestic workers (maids, cooks, cleaners). |
