Factories were dangerous and workers received low wages for working long hours.

Answer 1

Answer:

As factories were being built, businesses were in need of workers. With a long line of people willing to work, employers could set wages as low as they wanted because people were willing to do work as long as they got paid. People worked fourteen to sixteen hours a day for six days a week.
