Industrial Revolution Effort, beginning in Britain in the late 1700s, to increase production by using machines powered by sources other than humans of animals Characterized by the growth of cities, factories, and immigration Define Vocabulary using chromebooks

The Workforce Most of the immigrants came to America with the hope of finding work in the booming Industrial cities of America. When labor was scarce during the Civil War, the government passed laws that encouraged them to hire foreign workers. In addition to immigration, 9 million Americans moved from farms / rural communities into the cities. As more factories opened more workers filled their production lines throughout the late 1800s.

Factory Work By 1860, most states had adapted the 10 – hour workday however, it was not official law. Therefore, businesses made their laborers work 12 – hour days six days a week. In addition to long workdays, workers were paid for the quantity of a product they created. This practice became known as piecework. Piecework factories led to what has become commonly known as sweatshops, where workers work long hours at low wages, in poor conditions.

The Workplace Environment The clock ruled the workplace. It told you when to start, take any breaks, and when to stop. Workers were fined or fired for being late, talking, or refusing to do a task. The workplace was dangerous: Lighting and ventilation was poor. The machines were deafening and faulty. Due to their physical features, children often worked in factories and made money for their family. By 1900 one out of five children between 10 and 16 were employed.

Working Families Children’s wages often meant the difference between a family going hungry or having food on the table. As a result many children left school at the age of 12 or 13 to find work. Sometimes if an adult became ill or died, children as young as 6 or 7 had to work in the factory. Unemployment insurance did not exist, government programs did not exist, you either had the money for rent and food or you did not.

The Division of Labor Throughout history when a product was created the producer was responsible for all the production steps. Division of labor – separated the work into different tasks. Proved to be efficient but took the joy and pride out of work. Relationships between workers and owners also changes. Owners rarely visited factory floors and viewed their workers as machinery in the process of production.

Industrial Revolution Women, men, and children were all involved in factory work Many machines and inventions had interchangeable parts: identical parts that can easily be changed between two of the same machine Example: Cell phone cases

Rich vs. Poor In 1890, the richest 9% of Americans held nearly 75% of the national wealth. During the “best” years workers could earn a few hundred dollars a year. Some people turned to socialism, which was then gaining popularity in Europe. Socialism ???
