Who made up most of the workforce in a sweatshop?
Answer (2)
The group of people that made up most of the workforce were women. They were eager to earn really small amount of money and work long hours, because they did not have another job and also because they were unable to find any better. Sometimes, there were also a lot of immigrants working in sweatshops, because they could not speak English and they could not find a better job.
The majority of sweatshop workers have historically been women who faced long hours and low wages. Many were immigrants with limited job options, leading them to sweatshops as a means of supporting their families. This labor exploitation was widespread, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in urban centers like New York City.
