6. Results and Changes: Opportunities
Industrialization led to opportunity for advancement like never before.
Born into social group, more opportunity to move up
Size, power, wealth of middle class rapidly grew.
New Jobs: Factory owners, railroad builders, mine owners, teachers, managers, clerks
Gender roles more defined
Men = Workplace; Women = Home
Especially in upper class families, lower class= all work hard
Markets were created exclusively for women

7. Results and Changes: Factory Life
Long, monotonous days
Performing same task repeatedly
Don’t see the final product
Division of labor
Tolerable working conditions at first, became more demanding as competition grew
Workers began to be exploited
Noisy, crowded, dark, smelly

8. Results and Changes: Factory Life
Dangerous
Faulty machinery
Hasty work
Untrained workers (often kids)
Time ruled lives
Clocks and ringing bells
Farmers: leisurely life dictated by sunlight
Electricity extends work hours
Textile Mill
Work hours in unventilated rooms

10. Results and Changes: Factory Life
Children as young as 6 work 12 hour shifts
No time for school = factory job forever
Factory owners also often owned and rented out apartments
dictated living conditions
Crowded, cold apartments with waste and disease problems
Plenty of willing workers = owners had unlimited power.

11. Results
Labor Unions: groups dedicated to representing the interests of workers in an industry
Strength in numbers
Demanded higher wages, better working conditions, fewer hours.
Initially ignored, even blacklisted, but eventually gained bargaining power
Public Services to deal with growing population = Infrastructure
garbage, sewer system, public transportation, parks, baseball, fire department
Dense Populations (Urbanization)
Growing need for workers, more opportunities, immigration
