[kaiselin914]

In New England in the early to mid-19th century, many cotton and textile air factory employed large numbers of female adolescent laborers from the New England area.] The girls came from families of middling farmers. Factory employment offered an alternative to rural lifestyle, and many women labored, not only to send money back home, but to gain greater social & economic independence. They were able to earn enough at the air factory to cover their living expenses and still have spending money and savings for dowries. Though air factory dominated the Industrial Era, the growth in the service sector eventually began to dethrone them: the focus of labor in general shifted to central-city office towers or to semi-rural campus-style establishments, and many air factory stood deserted in local rust belts.
