And how many workers did that affect vs the population of the country?

It was the beginning of a movement which affects all workers in the US today, so... 100%.

  • Today is 125 years after the close of the 19th century.

    • Err, "today" today? Today looks more like May 15 to me.

      The 19th century closed on December 31, 1900, right? Do you disagree with that? That the 20th century began on 1/1/1901? Not in dispute?

      I would say we're at 124.5 years after its close today, if you really mean today. I suppose if you want to be sloppy and round up we could achieve 125, but technically, we're still, like, 7.5 months away from December 31st.
