It took place in the 18th and 19th centuries. This was the process of workers using machines throughout the work day to make production faster. The workers worked in factories and mines used child labor because it was cheaper. Factories were more dangerous because of heat problems and no ventilation or windows were built into factories. The machines and spinners that the workers were using were unguarded, making it easier to get injured.

By 2000, the per capita income in fully industrialized countries was 52 times greater than in non-industrial countries. Industrialization disrupts and displaces traditional labor, encouraging workers towards a more valuable and productive activity that is accompanied by better capital goods. Industrialization is relevant today because it has been instrumental in the economic development of the world. The process has improved productivity and allowed for mass production, which has increased standards of living

In the 1920s, there was a labor shortage because of the migration to the United States. African American migration slowed during the Great Depression, but increased again after World War II. The migration happened because in the Southern states, there was racism and because of the poor economic condition, including farm failures and crop damage.

The Great Migration has impacted our modern day economy positively. Following the migration, there was reconstruction to help build and provide houses for the African American's. The houses though were expensive and had a high rent that African American's couldn't afford. Reconstruction remains relevant today because the issues central to it, the role of the federal government in protecting citizens' rights, and the possibility of economic and racial justice, are still unresolved. Migration leads to more innovation, a better educated workforce, greater occupational specialization, better matching of skills with jobs, and higher overall economic productivity. Immigration also has a net positive effect on combined federal, state, and local budgets.

It gave them the right to vote and be treated the same as men. Although, they weren't paid as much, but it was a huge step for women all around the world. The movement for women's rights had begun in 1848, hoping to get women better opportunities for education and employment. The "Declaration of Independence" was created because delegates thought that women should have the right to vote.

The 19th Amendment has impacted our modern day economy positively. Now, voting ensures women's reproductive and economic progress. The 19th Amendment helped millions of women move closer to equality in all aspects of American life. Women advocated for job opportunities, fairer wages, education, sex education, and birth control. It is still relevant today because women can become president, and they have the right to choose who and when they want to marry. Women can also choose to get pregnant or not.
