Work and the workplace have gone through enormous changes between the mid-19th century, when 60 percent of Americans made their living as farmers, and the late-20th century, with its shift from an industrial to a knowledge-based economy. Produced by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, 'The Way We Worked' reveals the effects of industrialization, urbanization, immigration, labor unrest, wars, and economic depression on ordinary working Americans. Spanning the years 1857-1987, the exhibition’s black & white images also reflect a workforce shaped by immigration and ethnicity, slavery and racial segregation, wage labor and technology, gender roles and class, as well as by the American ideals of freedom and equality.
