Well, 1810 would be very different from 1890; let's settle on the post civil-war period (1865-1900). If we restrict the question to this time frame, we still find that the majority of workers were participants in an agrarian economy; they were mainly farmers, herders, cowboys, ranchers, and such. But at this point, towns and cities were becoming widely established, so there were many other occupations: miners, saloon owners, doctors, lawyers, bankers, railroad workers, loggers, trappers, builders (mainly carpenters), tailors, blacksmiths, etc., but all of these still essentially supported the agrarian economy. The major shift to a manufacturing economy can be said to have begun around 1875-1880, though farming is still a significant industry in many parts of the western states; i.e., California's Central Valley.

Primarily Caucasian, Asian, African-American, Hispanic, and even a fair few Native American, not in any order, and several of such people were mixed-bred of any two or more of such listed. Most farmers, miners and railroad workers were male, though some females (and brave ones they were too) were in amongst such a male-dominated work force as well.
