these girls worked very long hours, and were only paid very little,
They received high wages between 2 and 4 dollars a week, so they stayed. hope this helps :-)
Google Maps estimates the driving time as11 hours and 26 minutes.
This is depending on how many hours they work and what they get paid an hour.

"Another of Lowell's innovations was in hiring young farm girls to work in the mill. He paid them lower wages than men, but offered benefits that many girls, some as young as 15, were eager to earn. Mill girls lived in clean company boardinghouses with chaperones, were paid cash, and benefitted from religious and educational activities. Waltham boomed as workers flocked to Lowell's novel enterprise."
Well...how many hours do you work?

A salaried worker gets paid the same wage every pay day no matter how many hours worked as opposed to an hourly worker who gets paid only for the hours worked (and gets paid overtime rates if they work more than 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week) or a piecework worker who gets paid per finished piece they make of acceptable quality no matter how many hours worked.
