What was one way “old” immigrants differed from “new” immigrants in the 1800s?

Many “old” immigrants, who largely came from northern and western Europe, arrived with useful skills or some property. Many “new” immigrants, who came increasingly from southern and eastern Europe later in the 1800s, were poorer and often took unskilled industrial jobs. Therefore, the correct choice is “The ‘old’ immigrants often had property and skills, while the ‘new’ immigrants tended to be unskilled workers.”
