Which of these statements best describes why it was difficult for many immigrants to find employment in the us in the late 1800s?
a) they had specific training that was not useful in the us job market.
b) they were discriminated against by potential employers.
c) they were not interested in the jobs that were available in factories and mills.
d) they generally lived in rural areas where there were very few jobs available.

I believe the answer is: b) They were discriminated against by potential employers.

The employers tend to pay foreign labours with smaller amount of salary compared to local workers.  Since not many of them speak our language, they did not able to fully explained their situation to the press or the court, which is why they are force to keep their head down and receive the unfair treatment.

They were discriminated against by potential employers.
