What jobs did Irish people get when they came to America?
There were three great ports of entry for the Irish immigration to America. New York and vicinity, New Orleans, Louisiana and Galveston, Texas. Jobs that Irish people got were, to some extent, dictated by which port they landed in. Ships rosters and manifests of passengers were giant sheets of paper with a column for name, one for country of origin, birth date, occupation, age, and other items. Most of the columns were blank other than "Name" in the occupation column written in a sweeping fashion sideways up the page in big letters was written "Laborers" or "Seamstresses." A large number of the Irish went to work on the railroads in the South and West. A large number of Irish women went to work in the clothing sweatshops in New England. There is a book entitled "The Irish Way," just published in 2012 (Penguin Press) by Prof, James R Barrett from Univ of Illnois at Urbana-Champaign. It covers in detail, the history of the Irish imigration and their influence and melding into America. It is a fine reference and an easy read.
