Which statement best describes the situation between laborers and industrialists, with regards to salaries, during the late-1800s?

Laborers wages rose but so did expenses and the cost of living in industrial areas.

Explanation:

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the manufacturing industry was on the rise. However, the owners of these industries needed to rationalize their production line.  To do this, they should control the time of the workers at work in order to optimize this time, with which the worker would produce more products at the same time.

As the amount of labor increased, wages had to be higher, but workers' lives did not improve. As a result of higher salaries, expenses became more expensive, housing in the industrial sectors became more demanded and led to an increase in the price of everything in these regions.

disequilibrium means that either supply is greater than the demand for an available good, or that the demand for a product outstrips the available supply. it implies that the price for a is either too low creating large demand, or too high creating a large surplus of supply.
