A fascinating photograph showing the Headquarters for Foreign Labor at the Western Labor Bureau in Sacramento, CA. The exterior of the building is replete with signs for job opportunities, many explicitly for laborers of specific nationalities. One posting seeks, “10 Spaniards for Mining Co.” Other postings offer jobs for “15 Greeks,” “10 Italians,” and “50 Mex.” There are also postings for specific jobs such as “carpenter,” “ranch hand,” and “mucker.”
Bend in the middle of the mount, otherwise good condition.
