rapid economic growth and a growing middle class.

Explanation: The Gilded Age (roughly 1870s–1900) saw rapid industrialization, railroad expansion, and corporate growth that produced overall economic expansion and created many white‑collar, managerial, and professional jobs — expanding the middle class — even as wealth inequality and precarious conditions for unskilled laborers persisted.
