Worker migration to urban areas (jan 1, 1760 – jan 1, 1780)
Description:
“With the advance of factories, people began working for companies located in urban areas for the first time. The Industrial Revolution provided an incentive to increase profits, and as a result, working conditions in factories deteriorated. Long hours, inadequate remuneration, and minimal breaks became the norm. Child labor was a significant issue. Health issues arose for many of the factory workers giving rise to the labor movement throughout the U.S”
