they were poor. they worked for 40 cents an hour, 12 hrs. a day.

The working conditions were dirty, crowed, and dangerous. The factors were booming and more families were moving to the city hoping to find opportunities. The factory jobs were low paying, dirty, and unethical. The children would work just as long as their parents in the factories. This would put them in dangerous situations where they could easily become injured or killed.

The living conditions were unhealthful and poorly looked after.
