The increasing rate of immigration in the mid 19th century provides many of the workers to fill the low-paying, low-skilled jobs the nation needs. The transition from the old country or the farm to industrial positions is difficult. The hours are long, the work is hard, the working conditions often dangerous. The industrialization process generally relies on the capacity of business investors to extract from workers more profits than the workers themselves can earn. The result is that those early days of industrialization are painful.
