In the 40s and 50s they had "braceros" from Mexico come up to California where they built labor camps to house them. There were only men so they all lived together in a building like a bunkhouse. A bus would pick them up in the morning and take them to the field to work all day. Then they sent them back to Mexico after the season was over. Now the agricultural workers must have access to shade, water, outhouses and they have better conditions in general.

Most of the "sweat shops" were in the major cities in the latter part of the 19th century. Child labor laws passed at that time and on through the mid-20th century put a stop to much of child labor. Now most child labor issues are in foreign countries. Are you sure you don’t mean the 19th century? Most of the "sweat shops" were in the major cities in the latter part of the 19th century.
