During the industrial revolution, life as a factory worker rapidly became the norm for much of the proletariat class. With demand of artisans declining, simple to perform factory jobs have quickly replaced them. Your average worker was devalued, rendered to nothing but an easily replaceable part of the assembly system. This meant that anyone who didn't work sufficiently to the company's standard was sacked and unemployed just as easily and as quickly as they had received their job. People were urged to work long hours and tirelessly, in the dangerous conditions of nonregulated spaces. As shown in the images above, citizens work long and hard hours well into the dark of night. This family in particular all work on sewing machines to mass produce clothing. Children and adults alike work arduously to make a measly wage, cram packed in a room barely eight by nine feet. The young take care of the even younger as the parents are too busy working to supervise their own children. This sort of journalism showing the true conditions of some of the worst parts of America became known as yellow journalism
