Working conditions in the Victorians Era was absolute horrible. Children were forced to work starting from the young age and employers could set there wages as low as they wanted and it was fine, but the need for jobs and money was so critical. Sound familiar? Even children were made to work for up to 16 hours a day in absolutely terrible conditions. Some children did not make it home from work because of the conditions. Now although my son comes home from school as if he had a full day of grading papers and teaching kids… I wouldn’t mind my five year old bringing home a couple of dollars to put toward a light bill or cable bill lol, but I wouldn’t dare risk my child’s life for it. Many ways have changed as far as children working but many adults have to work for low wages and with Trump being in office things are bound to become worse quickly.
