The labor conditions in factories during the Gilded Age were characterized by **long hours and unsafe working environments**. Many workers faced very demanding schedules, often working 12 to 16 hours a day in hazardous conditions without adequate safety measures. Additionally, there were minimal industrial regulations and weak protections for workers at that time.
