That he was a journalist and that he had experience with unemployment are reasons why L Frank Baum was in a good position to understand the problems of the workers in the late nineteenth century.

Specifically, Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) had a lifelong interest in newspapers. One of his first of many jobs included operating his own printing press and printing a neighborhood newspaper during his teen years. As a married man, the writer moved to Aberdeen in the Dakota Territory and then to Chicago, Illinois to pursue journalistic and other writing pursuits. Writers, and particularly journalists and newspaper editors, uncover much socio- and politico-economic information as part of their job to tell the facts.
