What types of jobs did children have during the gilded age?

During the Gilded Age, children often worked in factories, mines, and as street vendors due to economic necessity. They were employed in textile mills, coal mines, and garment factories, where they faced long hours and hazardous conditions. Many also worked as newsboys, errand boys, or in agriculture, contributing to family incomes. Child labor laws were minimal, leading to widespread exploitation and limited access to education for many working children.
