Factories and Workers

Ization - The process of becoming

• Factories are needed for production

• Factories need workers to create products

• Cars aren’t mainstream yet and immigrant workers can’t afford them, so they live in factories

• Conditions in Tenements include

  • No plumbing indoors

  • No heat

  • No electricity

  • Overall bad conditions

Stocks

• Stocks allow the public to invest in companies, providing more capital

• More capital leads to expansion

• Expansion leads to more production

• Production leads to the need for more workers

• More workers mean that factories need more tenements

• The grouping of immigrants lead to the creation of Ethnic Neighborhoods

• Ethnic Neighborhoods - Places where immigrants from the same country or Ethnicity create small neighborhoods that embody the culture of where they originate
