When the gold rush ended in the late 19th century, the Chinese communities faced many hardships, and they were thus considered for cheap labor. Primarily, they were employed as attendants in the farmlands, taking care of domestic animals, gardeners, and laundry workers.
Additionally, they were particularly involved in the construction of transcontinental railroads such as the famous central pacific railroad. The Chinese nationals also worked as laborers in mining as well as America’s growing industry, such as wood mills, shoe manufacturing industries, garment industry, and sugar plantations.
