During the Industrial Revolution, children as young as four were employed in production factories with dangerous, and often fatal, working conditions. By 1900, there were 1.7 million child laborers reported in American industry under the age of fifteen. The number of children under the age of 15 who worked in industrial jobs for wages climbed to 2 million in 1910.
