Kukhazikitsa ndilozikika mu chikhalidwe cha America koma chiyambi chake ndi chosavuta.
Kuyambira mwina kumayambiriro kwa zaka za m'ma Ages pamene mbuye wapatsa mtumiki wake ndalama zingapo monga chisonyezo cha chifuniro chabwino. Pofika zaka za m'ma 1500, alendo omwe anali ku nyumba za Chingerezi ankayembekezera kupereka "chophimba" kapena ndalama zochepa kumapeto kwa ulendowo kuti akabwezeretse antchito a mwiniwake amene ankagwira ntchito pamwamba komanso kuposa ntchito zawo zonse.

Koma, malamulo atsopano sankagwiritsidwa ntchito, ndipo pofika m'chaka cha 1926, lamulo lililonse loletsana lokha linachotsedwa.
Kusinthasintha kunasinthidwanso m'zaka za m'ma 1960, pamene Congress inavomereza kuti antchito angalandire malipiro ochepa ngati gawo lina la malipiro lawo linachokerako. Malipiro ochepa omwe amagwira ntchito ogwira ntchito ndi $ 2.13, omwe sanasinthe zaka zoposa 20, malinga ngati antchito amalandira osachepera $ 7.25 pamalangizo pa ora.
