Jewish Immigration to the United States from 1881 to 1910 / Studies in History, Economics and Public Law, Vol. LIX, No. 4, 1914

The study examines Jewish emigration from Eastern Europe between 1881 and 1910, analyzing economic, social, and political conditions in Russia, Romania, and Austria-Hungary that prompted departure. It surveys occupational and urban distribution of Jewish communities, legal restrictions, violent persecutions, and economic pressures such as land and trade exclusions. Statistical methods are deployed to estimate numbers and national origins of immigrants to the United States, including decade-by-decade and annual variation analyses. The work interprets how Eastern European policies and social structures shaped the character, skills, and settlement patterns of Jewish immigrants in the United States, and concludes with comparative summaries of causes and immigration trends.
