The major pull factor for Chinese immigrants was work. Chinese immigrants were drawn to opportunities for employment, particularly during the Gold Rush in the mid-19th century in the United States. The promise of jobs and economic prosperity motivated many Chinese individuals to leave their home country and seek better opportunities abroad. This pull factor of work played a significant role in driving Chinese immigration to countries like the United States. Additionally, economic factors such as poverty and lack of employment opportunities in China further incentivized Chinese immigrants to seek work opportunities in other countries.
