1. Thanks to industrialization the American economy boomed. Many new factories were opened that required many workers. But as American workers wanted better working conditions the owners often turned to immigrants to fill in their positions. The labor here was mostly provided by Italian and Jewish women who came to the United States.

2. They usually had not training whatsoever, all that they learnt they learnt by doing, extremely long shifts. They also worked on Saturdays, and when the bosses demanded on Sundays to. They did all this without overtime pay. They barely spoke any English and also were less prone to organized protests as they needed the money.

3.Industry's seasonality did nothing good for the workers. As we said before these women worked long shifts, usually 12 to 14 hours a shift, and had no overtime pay. During the peak season they also worked everyday for no extra pay and they were told that if they do not show up on Sunday to not bother coming in on Monday.

Hey there Bro!

<span>In The Wealth of Nations, Smith wrote that markets produced the things that society needed because of the operation of the "invisible and.” This idea forms the basis of a poor economy.

Based on my research, Smith wrote many other market's, not just (one). And from this, they were able to help her produce many things in that economy that was needed because of the things that were happening.

This would be known to be a (non)-wealthy economy because she had to ask for help from other people and of that sort for them to become back in place.

Hope this helps you!

What SHOULD the Spanish monarchs have done differently in order to have use the influx of silver to have increased their wealth
True [87]
<span>From the Spanish Empire in the New World came an influx of precious metals, which had profound economic effects. The flow became especially important in the second half of the sixteenth century, and consisted of both gold and silver, with the latter metal predominating. The Spanish went to great lengths to secure the entire supply for themselves and prevent any of their precious cargoes from falling into the hands of their rivals. Each year the plate fleet, bearing the bullion from the mines of Peru and Mexico, was accompanied to Spain by a convoy of warships, and during the sixteenth century no other nation ever succeeded in intercepting this fleet. Francis Drake was able, however, to rob Spanish treasure in Central America and in the Pacific.</span>
