Once in the city, most of these fortune hunters found life more difficult than they had
expected. Housing, food, and clothing-all basic necessities-were expensive. Good jobs were not
easy to find in the new industrial urban areas. Working in assembly lines in new factories was
hard, tedious, and boring. Sweatshops, small shop where people worked long hours for low
pay (under poor and unhealthful working conditions), sometimes offered the only jobs. Jobs
were not as easy the newcomers had expected. In spite of these difficulties many of the people eventually were able to improve their life style.
In the 1950s and 1960s, people began moving out of the cities into the suburbs, the areas outside and around the cities. This mobility was a result of young families in search of better lives. They were looking for better school, lower taxes, and more living space. For the decades of the fifties and sixties, the suburbs provided these advantages, Yet by the late 1970s, suburban people began experiencing some problems with their finances.
