Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Working and living conditions remained precarious for industrial workers during the Gilded Age. Workers often faced long hours, low pay, dangerous working conditions, and unsanitary living conditions in company housing. There were few government regulations in place to protect workers, and labor unions were often met with violent opposition from both employers and the government. Real wages also fell due to rising prices during this time, making it even more difficult for workers to make ends meet. The idea of forging work permits for children was not taboo at the time and child labor was common.
