Indo Europeans occupied low-end jobs later filled by Javanese and Chinese workers

Evidence

Those counted were people employed in nearly every low-end job and just about every middling occupation for Europeans in the Indies: former soldiers; railway and tramworkers, clerks in commercial offices and legal bureaus; supervisors and scribes on the agricultural estates; craftsmen; innkeepers; blacksmiths; waiters; watchmakers; photographers; barbers; tailors; bookbinders; storefront lawyers; shoemakers; coolie recruiters; roadside shopkeepers; and shop attendants—all jobs that were increasingly being filled by Javanese and Chinese women and men and that just twenty years later would be largely taken over by them. — Ann Laura Stoler, Along the Archival Grain_ Epistemic…, 955
