Samuel Slater's first mill employees primarily consisted of young women and children from local farms, often referred to as "mill girls." These workers were typically recruited from the surrounding rural areas, where they were enticed by the promise of wages and independence. Slater's mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, became one of the first successful textile mills in the United States, relying heavily on this workforce to operate the machinery and produce cotton yarn.
