c. 1900. Workers on a Japanese rice farm in Texas - c. 1910. Japanese
road-construction workers in California - c. 1910. (313) Immigration from Japan to the
United States began to increase in 1900. Like the Chinese Americans before
them, Japanese Americans became farmers, business owners, and professional
people. Others found work in construction and in industry.

[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).
