Many people who immigrated to the United States during the Gilded Age moved to urban areas, where they worked in factories.

The gilded age is generally described as the late 19th century period between 1870-1900.

The United States gilded age was a time of significant industrial growth. The industrial revolution had reached the Americas and the country's huge natural resources helped in the set up of new factories.

For the first time in history, there was more labor required for factories than for agriculture.
