As the new mechanical and electronic technological machines were introduced, the demand for the traditional skilled labor declined rapidly and with the help of the new machinery, a single person could do work more without the help of more workers.
However, the demand for workers with knowledge and experience of mechanics, machines and new techniques grew as a result.
But the traditional, labour intensive industries were rapidly changing and their demand for the labor declined.
Explanation: Think about it, the skilled person can only do so much compared to a machine. Why hire someone who is skilled, and requires more pay when you can just hire unskilled workers for a fraction of the price. Its shi**y but thats how things turned out.
