Description
Joseph M. describes the Homestead mill's practices in hiring and housing workers from the South, detailing how the company would deduct boarding expenses from wages and handle payroll for workers. He talks about the limited opportunities for Black workers at that time, mainly in labor roles, due to the lack of available skilled positions. He mentions the challenges faced by educated Black individuals who couldn't find suitable employment, highlighting instances where qualified people were unable to secure jobs due to various factors, including their race.
