Answer:

despite discrimination, immigrants found significant economic opportunities available to them in both urban factories and Western settlements

Step-by-step explanation:

In addition to constant discrimination, immigrants had no rewarding job offers or significant salary opportunities, either in factories or settlements. Foreigners were paid very low and unfair wages, less than they should have been paid. Due to poor wages and high workloads, they could not have a good quality of life and needed to pile up in extremely unstructured suburbs and without any sanitary conditions. This created not only economic problems, but also social problems that made immigrants' lives extremely difficult.
