Ответ:

In the last quarter of the 19th century American industry was quickly developing. There appeared more jobs for children. The percentage of working children from 10 to 15 years of age increased. The official figure is 1.7 million, but the true number was much greater. In 1900 at least 18 percent of children under the age of 16 were employed. In southern cotton mills 25 percent of the employees were below the age of 15, and 50 percent of these children were below age 12. Horrible conditions of work for many child labourers brought the issue to public attention.

Перевод:

В последней четверти XIX века американская промышленность быстро развивалась. Появилось больше рабочих мест для детей. Процент работающих детей в возрасте от 10 до 15 лет увеличился. Официальная цифра составляет 1,7 миллиона, но истинное число было намного больше. В 1900 году по крайней мере 18 процентов детей в возрасте до 16 лет были трудоустроены. На хлопкопрядильных фабриках Юга 25 процентов работников были моложе 15 лет, и 50 процентов из этих детей были моложе 12 лет. Ужасные условия труда многих детей-рабочих привлекли внимание общественности к этой проблеме.
