May 26 marks the anniversary of the first ever factory strike in the United States, in 1824, at the Slater Mill in Rhode Island.

Because, parts of the country are trying to replicate the very conditions that brought about the strike at Slater Mills. The mill owner decided to extend the working day without any additional pay and cut wages in the weaving department, worked entirely by women, by 25%, on the ground that they had been, out of mistaken generosity, paying them wages that were extravagant for young women.

TRI prices in dividend on the index into the price level. This brutal and swift correction left everybody with a common question in mind” should he/she keep on investing in the market?
