When an industry was monopolized by one company or trust during the Gilded Age what happened to workers wages?

During the Gilded Age, when an industry was monopolized by one company or trust, workers' wages often stagnated or decreased due to the lack of competition. Employers had less incentive to offer higher wages since workers had fewer job alternatives. Additionally, monopolistic practices sometimes led to harsh working conditions, further diminishing workers' bargaining power and overall compensation. As a result, income inequality widened, and many laborers struggled to make ends meet.

How many companies did Standard Oil monopolize?

Standard Oil, founded by John D. Rockefeller in 1870, effectively monopolized over 90% of the U.S. oil refining industry at its peak. The company controlled numerous subsidiaries and affiliated companies, which included major entities like the Ohio Oil Company, the National Transit Company, and the Atlantic Refining Company. Ultimately, Standard Oil's practices led to its dissolution in 1911 by the U.S. Supreme Court, which deemed it a violation of antitrust laws. The breakup resulted in the formation of 34 independent companies.
