    Workers during this time period had difficult working conditions, working long days 6 days a week with no variation in their schedules. They were expected to keep up with the pace of machines or risk being fired and replaced. Conditions were unsafe, with poor lighting, machine injuries, and coal mining resulting in accidents and health issues from coal dust. Child labor was also common, with young children working long hours in factories for low wages despite dangerous conditions.
