History

Nata [24]3 years ago

Explanation:

Agriculture to Industry

Industrialization is defined by the movement from primarily agrarian labor toward urbanized, mass-producing industrial labor. This transformation corresponds with rising marginal productivity and rising real wages, albeit not consistently or equally.

According to the 1790 U.S. Census, more than 90% of all American laborers worked in farming. The productivity—and corresponding real wages—of farm labor was very low. Factory jobs tended to offer wage rates that were several times higher than farm rates. Workers eagerly moved from low-paying, hard labor in the sun to relatively high-paying, hard labor in industrial factories.

By 1890, the number of non-farm workers had overtaken the number of farmers in the U.S. This trend continued into the 20th century; farmers made up just 2.6% of the U.S. labor force in 1990.
