Neither pay nor health benefits.
Explanation;
The Gilded Age is known as a period of rapid
industrialization in America. The American
economy shifted from a rural to industrial basis.
With the industrialization, factories increased its
needs for workers, but the conditions of factory
jobs were horrible
Working conditions were poor and unsafe, there
were many cases of work injuries or even
deaths. But this phenomenon was new and
there were no worker's rights, because of that, if
a factory worker was injured while working there
was no pay or health benefits.
