Working Conditions During The Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution had many problems with its cities and citizens due to urbanization, child labor, working conditions, and wages. The first problem was the average man's working conditions and wages. In the factories an average worker had to work 6 days a week, serving 12-14 hours of labor everyday with poor pay. Machinery was extremely dangerous, filthy, and lung disease was common. As a result of these poor conditions in the factories, workers were either fired, dead, or lost a limb. Despite the conditions in the factories children had it worse. In the factories children worked equally as hard as men, but were only paid 10% of their earnings. They were often uneducated and poorly fed due to the need to support their families. This
