Did the industrial age and the rise in the numbers of factories help or hurt the expansion of the middle class in the United States? Explain. It helped the expansion of the middle class because factories offered citizens with little-to-no education a stable job with good wages and benefits.

It helped the expansion of the middle class because poor factory working conditions forced the government to enact laws that eliminated many predatory business practices.

The industrial age can be seen as something that both benefitted and damaged the middle class.

With the rise of the industrial age job oppurtunities grew and many including men, women, and children were able to get jobs and support their families. The economy flourished greatly during this time ad it even made an impact on the social and political environment in the US.

Although with this there were a lot of damages it caused to the middle class too. Workers were being forced into serving long hours for inadequate wages, forced to work in dangerous and unhealthy conditions as well as many especially children getting injured or killed while working. To combat this.

In my opinion, The industrial age brought a lot of oppurtunities but were terribly executed.
