Skill Building: Tables
Chapter 21:
The Progressive Era, 1900-1917
Look at the table "Children in the Labor Force, 1880-1930" on page 649 of your textbook. In what year did the problem of child labor seem to be most severe? Judging from the data in this chart, do
you think the progressive movement had any impact on child labor in the United
States? Can you offer any other explanations for the percentage differences
between 1880 and 1930?
