One of his most popular works is The Jungle, which is a fictional narrative that managed to expose the poor conditions that immigrants were subjected to when they begun to work in factories.

Due to this narrative, officials began to consider its content and investigated numerous businesses. Subsequently, this lead to the creation of new laws in this industry.
