How did Mexicans earn a living in the late 1800's and where did they do this work?
In the railroads hired more Mexicans than members of any other ethnic to construct rail lines in the southwest. They were accustomed to the region hot, dry climate but they work for less money than other ethnic groups.
Mexicans were also vital to the development of mining and agriculture in the southwest. Mexican workers became the major labor force in the agricultural industries of the region.

Most African-American lived in the segregated south, but by 1900, a number of blacks had move to Northern cities. They were searching for a better-paying jobs and social equality. But after the arrival they found that there racial discrimination in the North as well. African Americans found themselves forced into segregated neighborhoods. They also faced discrimination in the workplace.Labor unions often discouraged black membership, and employers hired African American labor only as a last resort and fired blacks before white employes.
