Answer:

the Chinese or irish

Step-by-step explanation:

80% of the workers were chinese and "Most of the early workers were Irish immigrants. Railroad work was hard, and management was chaotic, leading to a high attrition rate. The Central Pacific management puzzled over how it could attract and retain a work force up to the enormous task." -pbs.org
