As industries grew, so did their need for workers. As a result, thousands of American citizens
and immigrants rushed to the new industrial cities in search of new jobs and a chance for a
better life. With so many people looking for work, factory owners could hire workers who were
willing to work for long hours and very low wages. Wages were so low that it became impossible
for a worker to support his family. In order to pay the rent and put food on the table, many
parents were forced to send their children to work instead of school. Children as young as eight
worked six days a week, eight to twelve hours a day for less than a dollar a day. They worked
in factories, mills, coal mines, picked fruit, shined shoes, and sold newspapers. In addition to low
wages and long hours, Americans also had to deal with dangerous conditions. Factories and
mills were filled with new machines that were very dangerous to operate. As a result, thousands
of workers were injured and hundreds more were killed each year. In addition, many
Americans worked in crowded, unsanitary rooms where exit doors were locked to keep workers
in and fresh air out. Locked doors also resulted in hundreds of worker deaths when fires broke
out and escape was impossible.
