Unit 6 – Industrialization and the Gilded Age, 1865–1898
Topic 6.5
What was one major impact on labor as a result of technological innovations during Industrial Revolution?
Labor unions were disbanded because workers were satisfied with their working conditions under mechanized production methods.
Many workers had their roles replaced with machines leading to unemployment or re-skilling needs.
Workers' wages increased substantially given that output per worker rose dramatically due to machinery assistance.
There was a decrease in demand for unskilled labor since most jobs were automated completely overnight.
