How the Industrial Revolution Changed Human Lives

The industrial revolution changed the Unites States in many ways. Since the steam engine was built new factories were made. When the steam engine was created it provided more jobs. The steam engine was more productive and made machinery much faster to operate. Factories also used to operate their machinery; this was a big impact on the children during this time. Children were taken advantage of because they were young. Nowadays younger adults or teens take any job that’s available because they are willing to make money at a low price. Younger adults and teens want some money in their pockets for college or to support their families. People during the industrial revolution were t risk by working. They were at risk because machinery was not one hundred percent safe. Sometimes the machines would have a default and blow up or the human would do something to put themselves at risk. Since the steam engine was made transportation for people helped a lot. The steam engine made the train. This helped people go to city to city for less the time and much easier then walking. Children during the industrial revolution weren’t paid as much but in today’s world there is minimum wage. Minimum wage is a certain amount of money that people should be paid for working a certain amount of hours.
