Times of business failure, riots, strikes, and employees failing their employers could all be seen in 1871-1900 resulting in the unproductive and unhappy times of industry. There were many reasons why 1871-1900 why so unproductive industrially.
During this time, many large businesses with newly hired immigrants were starting to emerge. Obviously the new workers were getting paid for their extremely harsh work conditions. When the officials of the businesses started to pay the hard workers less money than they thought they deserved, workers got extremely angry. They fired back at the heads of the businesses, the businesses themselves, and the supporters (remaining workers) of the plants. They rioted and protested resulting in the failing of businesses. These results were one main reason why the factories at the time were so unproductive. They had little to no workers and their factories were being vandalized. Even with the "modern" advances like new machines to do what was once manual labor, without workers, factories and businesses could not function and prosper.
1871-1900 was a definite time of failure and productiveness for large businesses. Employees proved to be the main reason for these failures with their striking and rioting.
