American Industrialization took the economy to new altitudes. The invention of railroads and steel frame construction lead to the rise of factories and mills. Business activities were bustling around industries in cities which made people to migrate from countryside to suburbs.
Although industrialization boomed, it was called ‘Gilded age’ because growing industrialization and accruing of wealth paved way for corruption.
Rich remained to be the owners of the industrial units and mills who lived quality life. The middle class comprised of people who were minor commercial owners and who lead a comfortable life and the last class of the society were the economically down trodden people who slogged as laborers in the workshops to earn a meager amount.
