Answer:

people to work for economic and social reform.

Explanation:

The Golden Age was an era of rapid economic growth, especially in the north and west. As American wages were much higher than those in Europe, especially for skilled workers, the period saw an influx of millions of European immigrants. The rapid expansion of industrialization led to real wage growth of 60 percent between 1860 and 1890, scattered by the ever-increasing workforce. The average annual salary per industrial worker (including men, women, and children) rose from $ 380 in 1880 to $ 564 in 1890, a gain of 48 percent. However, the Golden Age was also a time of extreme poverty and inequality, as millions of immigrants - many from impoverished regions - arrived in the United States, and the high concentration of wealth coupled with the precarious division of income, became more visible and contentious.

Because of the unfair division of income and the excesses of the rich during some people working for economic and social reforms. An example of this was the emergence of labor unions.

Labor unions, such as carpenters, printers, cobblers, and cigar makers, grew steadily in industrial towns after 1870. These unions used frequent short-term strikes as a method of gaining control over the labor market and fighting against competing unions.

Civil Service reforms, such as the Pendleton Act, during the Gilded Age

marta [7]

Answer:

The Pendleton emerged as a political reaction against the spoils system that was predominant in America at the time.

Explanation:

In the spoils system, government officials were not appointed based on merit, but based on political patronage, that is to say, government officials were appointed in exchange for political support, both ideological and financial.

The spoils system reached a height during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, and this created tensions in the political class.

For this reason, Congress adopted the Pendleton Act in 1883. This act determined that civil servants should be appointed based on merit. It even led to the creation of entry-exams for government officials. Finally, it also prohibited the demotion of government officials because of political reasons.
