Working conditions were still fairly decent. During WWI, everyone had a job due to war demand. But as WWI drew to a close, more and more people started to lose their jobs. So to answer your question, employment was high, but was decreasing.

∙ 14y agoI will tell you about the working conditions in the U.S during the Industrial Revolution. This was during the late 1800's and the early 1900's. The working conditions were horrible! They were hot, crowed and stuffy. The air was hot, and only a few open windows were available. Sometimes factories had no windows at all!Which meant no fresh air! Even for you doing all that hard work, they sometimes only gave you a few pennies a day. Since that was one of the times when more people from across the ocean came to find a new life, it was hard to start there. Most factories that I am talking about, took place in New York City. People would stop at Ellis Island before going to New York. They did that to be checked for any sickness's or diseases. Sometimes earning money was so hard, that children 7 and up had to work in factories too!You even had to work, sometimes 11 hours a day! And if you were found not working at any time, they could fire you in an instant, leaving you moneyless and jobless. As you can well imagine the working conditions in the late 1800's and the early 1900's, were horrible places.
