Initially, the primary source of labor for textile mills was primarily composed of young women, often referred to as "mill girls," who came from rural areas seeking employment. Additionally, children were also employed in large numbers due to their ability to perform tasks suited for their small size and lower wage demands. Over time, immigrant labor, particularly from Europe, became a significant component of the workforce as the demand for labor increased.
