How did the Central Pacific railroad company treat Chinese workers?
The Central Pacific railroad took advantage of its Chinese immigrant employees. They would pay them significantly less than the unskilled white workers. The company didn't provide the complementary food and lodging for them that was enjoyed by the white workers. Also, the Chinese were given the most dangerous of the jobs, which led to the death of about 10 percent of the company's Chinese workforce.
Who built the transcontinental railroad going west?
The Chinese, Irish, and the Americans worked on the Transcontinental Railroad. The Chinese had 11,000 workers and they are greatly cheered today because without them, the railroad would not have been completed that fast. I'd say how slow it still takes us Americans to build schools and new roads that we might still be working on the First Transcontinental Railroad today!! The Chinese were paid 28 dollars a month and worked from before sunrise to way after sundown. When the Chinese have a job to do they stick to it!!! - KK
