Free African Americans faced significant discrimination in employment opportunities during the 19th century. They were often relegated to low-paying, unskilled jobs and faced legal restrictions that limited their ability to own businesses or access certain professions. Additionally, many employers were reluctant to hire them due to pervasive racial prejudice, leading to higher rates of unemployment and underemployment among the African American community. This systemic discrimination limited their economic mobility and contributed to broader social inequalities.
