Resettlers worked at a variety of jobs. Women commonly worked as domestic servants, in Chicagoユs candy industry, and in the crafts. Men were in demand for low-level manufacturing jobs and niche positions like chick sexing, a job with good pay, albeit poor working conditions. A number of resettlers started their own businesses, a few of which still exist today; and a few were able to secure professional positions.
