Working hours were reduced in many states.

Workplace safety was improved.

Explanation:

Workers underwent certain unfavorable conditions during the early twentieth century which was later improved upon during the progressive era.

The Supreme Court ruling during the Muller v. Oregon (1908) case changed the restrictions on working hours for women who did laundry jobs. When the court established that longer hours were not beneficial to women and their families, they made the restrictions to a maximum of 10-hours per day.

Factory inspection laws were found at state and local levels which protected workers from unfavorable working conditions.
