Can anyone find me the child labor statistics for gilded age through progressive era? All I can find is friggin 1994-1997 on the gov’s crappy website. For that matter, where do you go for you statistics?
I’m not sure if you’ve seen this already, but there are some statistics and sources in this article: http://mises.org/etexts/childlabor.pdf
Child Labor in the United States
For statistics in general, I usually check everything on mises.org from articles, to blogs, to the forums here. The people who make and make up this website are brilliant.
That’s what I ended up having to use but there must be more records than just 1880, 1900 and 1930
