During the Progressive Era (1890s to 1920s), working conditions were often harsh and unsafe, with long hours, low wages, and little job security. Factories were overcrowded and poorly ventilated, leading to frequent accidents and health issues. Child labor was prevalent, with many children working in dangerous environments instead of attending school. The era saw the rise of labor movements advocating for reforms, which eventually led to improved working conditions and labor rights.
People like Upton Sinclair were called Muckrakers.
The conditions were dusty dirty and dangerous. They were very unhygenic and deseases were easily passed through people working close together all crammed up!

During the Civil War, various groups engaged in work slowdowns, notably laborers and certain military units. Union soldiers, frustrated by poor conditions and lack of supplies, sometimes slowed their efforts or refused to work. Additionally, skilled workers, particularly in industries like railroads and manufacturing, occasionally participated in slowdowns as a form of protest for better wages and working conditions. Enslaved individuals also employed work slowdowns as a means of resistance against their conditions.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt led the way in creating programs to improve working and social conditions in the U.S. during the 1930s through his New Deal initiatives. These programs aimed to provide relief for the unemployed, recovery for the economy, and reforms to prevent future depressions. Key agencies like the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) were established to support labor and welfare, significantly transforming American social policy.
