Jewish immigrants were therefore concentrated in the two groups of "no occupation" and "skilled laborers", to which belonged more than four-fifths of the total number. Of laborers (including farm laborers), the Jews, on the other hand, had the smallest proportion (except the Scots), 13.7 %.
Contrary to all perception, immigrants asking for assistance form the United Hebrew charities in 1886 was approximately 10% of ; afterwards, only, 5%. The History of the Jewish Labor Movement in the United States
