President Hoover was unprepared for the scope of the depression crisis, and his limited response did not begin to help the millions of Americans in need. The steps he took were very much in keeping with his philosophy of limited government, a philosophy that many had shared with him until the upheavals of the Great Depression made it clear that a more direct government response was required. But Hoover was stubborn in his refusal to give “handouts,” as he saw direct government aid. He called for a spirit of volunteerism among America’s businesses, asking them to keep workers employed, and he exhorted the American people to tighten their belts and make do in the spirit of “rugged individualism.” While Hoover’s philosophy and his appeal to the country were very much in keeping with his character, it was not enough to keep the economy from plummeting further into economic chaos.
The steps Hoover did ultimately take were too little, too late. He created programs for putting people back to work and helping beleaguered local and state charities with aid. But the programs were small in scale and highly specific as to who could benefit, and they only touched a small percentage of those in need. As the situation worsened, the public grew increasingly unhappy with Hoover. He left office with one of the lowest approval ratings of any president in history.

The correct answer is: "employees working long hours at low pay in unsafe conditions"
The term sweatshop is used to refer to a working place characterized by socially unceptable conditions, where the work undertaken can be unsafe, underpaid or both. In such places people work very extense shifts without overtime payments, the minimum wage regulations are ignored and sometimes, even laws banning child labor are violated.
The International Labour Organization had set certain standards for workplaces, in order to avoid such situations, and undertakes periodic inspections all over the world, to assess compliance.
