Abstract: Textile mills played a key role in the economic and social structure of Carolinas’ towns for over one hundred years. Census data on thousands of individuals over a century of time paint a changing picture regarding the mill workers’ gender, age, marital status, education and race. The paper provides a predictive model to estimate the likelihood a Carolinas worker would be in the textiles industry. Last, the paper examines the question of what opened access for blacks, especially black females, into the textiles industry during the 1970s and 1980s. .
