What were working conditions like in the 1800?

Answer 1

For many it was hard and for some it was good. I guess it depends on your gender and your race. For women, they were only trained for domestic jobs. For minorities they were used as slave labor. It was tough times for women and people of color.

Pretty harsh, man. The factories were crowded, dark, dirty, and dangerous. The machinery was dangerous to handle. I know that metal workers didn't have all of the eye protection. They crammed the workers up, and all the fumes settled down; with no windows, the air couldn't escape, so the whole thing gave people stuff like lung cancer. Fires spread easily, for sure. The fire escapes were in disrepair, as with much of the equipment.

I agree the man/woman above this answer is very smart. I just learned about it yesterday in Social Studies; crowded work ares; dangersous ( hand getting cut off; and getting paid not very much.>:]
