Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Japanese immigrants in the 1880s largely worked as agricultural laborers because they were recruited to work on Hawaii's sugar plantations and also settled in California where they worked on farms. They also faced discrimination and limited job opportunities, leading many to work on farms despite their diverse skill sets. Railroad building and mining were occupations more commonly filled by Chinese immigrants. Cattle herding was not a common job for Japanese immigrants in the 1880s.
