The 'good old days'
In spite of the fact that they were no doubt being exploited by the bosses, they seem well dressed and eating out of nice dinner kits, so I would assume the 50 to 75 cents a day they made was a nice addendum to the family income, enough so that they were provided with nicer clothing and better food than their non-working siblings. Even so, I wouldn't trade places with them.
