Definición

  • In the United States, employers have provided housing to workers in mining, lumbering, textiles, and a handful of other industries. Company towns developed largely because the work sites were located in isolated, largely unsettled regions; some manufacturers in suburbs housed skilled workers to discourage turnover.
