2. Wages
As time progressed business owners paid their workers less and less
They could do this due to the many people looking for work
This is different to Lowell’s factory because they provided food and housing to their workers with better work conditions
The Effects
Women and children worked in these factories
Men didn't because they couldnt earn enough from these jobs to support these families

3. Working Hours Long hours (7:00 a.m. to dark)
Monday through Saturday and some Sundays
Working over 60 hours a week
Weren’t paid for overtime
Factory owners would set the clock back so that workers wouldn’t know they were working overtime
This meant that they wouldnt have to pay them

4. Safety/Work Conditions
Fire was the most common cause of death in factories
This was due to the fact that factories didn’t have fire escapes or sprinklers
This is because factory owners didn’t want to pay for it
This was illegal
Crowded work conditions
In the winter it was extremely cold and in the summer it was extremely hot
