During the gilded age many immigrants had come to America for a better life. They came in search for work and a new life. The reality of the immigrants life was far from the roads paved with gold many envisioned. Industrial jobs paid low wages, demanded long hours and offered no benefits or security. The tenement housing most immigrants could afford in the near-bursting American cities proved crowded, expensive, dangerous and unsanitary. Many immigrants had to work in coal mines which was a big struggle for them and the conditions of their work environment wasn't really safe. The immigrants had to face a lot of boarders including language because they came from a different country so many of the factory owners took advantage of this. There was also restrictions and limitations on who and how many of immigrants from a country can come into America.

Women during the gilded age had been given this image of an average house wife that stays in the house and doesn't have many rights but when the progressive era came around women started to realize they're worth more than they are said to be and that was when women's suffrage begun and they had started conventions and marches for women to get their freedom back. During prohibition women had become very "bad" like wearing clothes that would be considered provocative. "Most especially among young women, liquor consumption rocketed, propelling the rest of the culture with it: skirts shortened. Music heated up. America's Sweetheart morphed into The Vamp." Many thought prohibition was ruining what a good women was supposed to be like.

During the Progressive Era child labor was very popular. "The 1890 census revealed that more than one million children, ten to fifteen years old, worked in America." On this website it explained how many children were working in these factories and how they were. The children wanted to be able to support their families and the factory owners took advantage of them and made them work for long hours while paying them with little money, the children were also able to fit in the small place that the adults couldn't so the factory owners prefered the child workers more than the adult ones. When the children worked sometimes their lives would be in danger and the children get severely injured when they worked. The conditions were always awful but the kids didn't care because all they wanted was money for their families.  The progressive era came rolling along and that's when people started to expose these people and how they treated the children in these factories so congress started putting up laws and acts which essentially gave them their freedom back.
