Most immigrants came to farm lands that were much less expensive than those in Europe, while a small but significant minority came as artisans skilled in such professions as carpentry, metal working, textile production, and iron-making.

It depends on the time. I assume you’re talking about the 19th century... most immigrants found work in big cities where there were many factory jobs.
