Best Answer

The Irish Americans were certainly subjected to a dual labor market. During the late 1800's, after the first large Irish Immigration into America, Irish immigrants were considered to be the poorest of all the immigrants coming into the United States. Because of the constant prejudice against Irish, they were kept at this poor standing by only being offered the lowest paying, and the most backbreaking jobs available, leaving the higher paying jobs for natural American citizens.

Did White Americans participate in a dual labor market?

Yes white Americans did and do participate in the dual labor market. For hundreds of years white Americans has been deciding which race or sex gets the chance for a decent job in America and who gets the dead end jobs in America. for instance some jobs may hire a woman for a low income job and not even think about letting her try for a higher paying job or a more secure job because of her sex. This has been going on since slavery and since the Indians were sent to the reservation, because of their status and culture they may not be considered for a certain job.
