Why were immigrants often hired to work in sweatshops?

Hello!

Immigrants were often hired to work in sweatshops because normal people didn't want to work there under such conditions. While the immigrants were often blackmailed into working there.

I hope it helped!

Hey There,

Most immigrants often worked with sweatshops because it was the easiest method to make a small living; however, sweatshops provided jobs to immigrants with low compensation, long hours, and an unsafe work environment.

Let me know if you have any further questions!
