Working at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in the early 20th century offered limited job benefits. Employees, primarily young immigrant women, received relatively stable employment and wages that were higher than typical for similar unskilled labor of the time.

The tragic fire in 1911 highlighted these issues, leading to significant labor reforms in the years that followed.
