False

This is false.
Factories were interested in making their own profits, but they were not interested in employee morale.
Factory workers were mostly from the poorer class, and they were unable to find better work. Employees were paid very small amounts and they worked in extremely dirty and unsafe conditions. Often times, children also worked in factories as a form of cheap labor.
Fortunately, child labor is now against the law and factory working conditions have improved.

I can't be certain but I'm pretty sure it's false... true for profits, maybe, but employee morale? No. So overall I'd say false.
