DEVELOPMENTS

The industrial workforce expanded and became more diverse through internal and international migration.

As cities became areas of economic growth featuring new factories and businesses, they attracted immigrants from Asia and southern and eastern Europe, as well as African American migrants within and out of the South. Many migrants moved to escape poverty, religious persecution, and limited opportunities for social mobility in their home countries or regions.

Urban neighborhoods based on particular ethnicities, races, and classes provided new cultural opportunities for city dwellers.
