The correct answers are:

  • City jobs paid higher wages than rural farming did
  • Women could get jobs to help support their families.
  • Factories, mills, and mines were always in need of workers.

Right before industrialization and urbanization the countryside and the agricultural sector were overcrowded. From time to time, some technological developments were implemented but, in general, diminishing returns were operating and there were very low productivity levels. Salaries were very low and those who could work earned just for self-substainance.

Industrial activities started to demand workers and offered better salaries, so many people moved to the cities trying to find better living conditions. The job positions offered there grew unlimitedly. Moreover, women could also earn income for the family as there were jobs for them too.
