Children played a significant role in the workforce.

Children made up a large portion of the workforce.

Explanation:

children played a significant role in the work force. children could fit in places and do jobs that regular adults due to being smaller and nimble with machines. children were considered more expendable on the job. they were payed less then adults. when factories had to give days off for holidays they would hire kids to work instead. it was harder for kids to fight back not only for being weaker but were taken advantage of. sometimes mothers would bring their daughters to work with them just to make more money. one year after a cence of children dead or not being with their families people started to take notice. In the United States, there were over 750,000 children under the age of 15 working in 1870. The U.S. Congress passed two laws, in 1918 and 1922, but the Supreme Court declared both unconstitutional. In 1924, Congress proposed a constitutional amendment prohibiting child labor, but the states did not ratify it. Then, in 1938, Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act.
