Detailed explanation-1: -Working conditions were difficult and exposed employees to many risks and dangers, including cramped work areas with poor ventilation, trauma from machinery, toxic exposures to heavy metals, dust, and solvents.
Detailed explanation-2: -With the growth of factories and the demand for unskilled labor, immigrants, primarily young men in the working years, continued to be the ideal source of labor. Immigrants were generally more willing to accept lower wages and inferior working conditions than native born workers (Zolberg 2006: 69).
Detailed explanation-3: -The three challenges faced by immigrants who came to the United States in the late 1800s were crop failure, job shortages, and raising taxes.
