Urban slaves in the U.S. typically worked in a variety of settings, including households as domestic servants, in skilled trades such as carpentry and blacksmithing, and in factories or warehouses. They often performed tasks like cooking, cleaning, and childcare in private homes, while others were employed in commerce and manufacturing in cities. Their roles varied widely depending on the region and the specific needs of their owners, but opportunities for urban slaves often provided them with slightly more autonomy compared to their rural counterparts.
