In the late 19th century, there is a dramatic expansion of industrial workers in the United States. Millions of laborers are drawn from the farm to industrial cities, lured by jobs and opportunity. Immigration increases because wages and living conditions in the U.S. are better than they are in the rest of world. Different ethnic groups tend to capture different industries, like the Italians in New York's garment industry or the Poles in Chicago's meat packing industry. Some employers attempt to keep their industry from becoming too segmented as a protection against union organization.
