the more urbanized areas of the country. When they arrived they found out that life was much different from what they were normally use to. The cities continued to grow in size at a rapid pace. Unable to keep up with the growing population as a result of urbanization, people found a lack for housing, good sanitation, or recreational facilities available.

Instead, the working class had to make a living by fueling, cleaning or operating the machines which became a grueling job. This change didn’t just affect men but the entire household.
