Unit 3 Essay Two

The Industrial Revolution developed modern manufacturing. It did so by being the era in
which factories were first created. Factories made mass production and made these objects
fast. However having factories meant it needed workers. This era had many bad things that
created good things for today.
Workers were worked long hours with low pay. The working environment was dangerous
because of the machines. There was unclean materials that made workers ill. This all resulted in
modern working conditions. Workers consultation, minimum wage, age limits and health
inspections.
Factories are still used for production.
