Which statement describes employment in the late 1800s? Jobs often required specialized training. Twelve-hour workdays were unusual. Jobs in factories were hard to get. Working conditions were often dangerous.



Answer :

"Working conditions were often dangerous" is the best option from the list. Jobs in factories were plentiful because the industrial equipment was fairly new and the industry quite lucrative.

The correct answer is "Working conditions were often dangerous". During the 1800s the workers in factories had two main issues: low wages and unsafe working conditions. This resulted in workers assemble of organized unions which lead to strikes to force employers to solve these issues.
