 Some insist that the "No Irish need apply" signs were common, but others, such as Richard J. Jensen, argue that anti-Irish job discrimination was not a significant factor in the United States, and these signs and print advertisements were posted by the limited number of early 19th-century English immigrants to the United States who shared the prejudices of their homeland.In July 2015 the same journal that published Jensen's 2002 paper published a rebuttal by Rebecca A.Fried, an 8th-grade student at Sidwell Friends School.
