- During the early years of the Industrial Revolution, factory workers worked long hours of 12 to 14 hours in extremely dirty dangerous factories They risked losing limbs due to the unattended machines, and the overall health of the people decreased greatly from the polluted factory air. Children were affected by these conditions as well because they needed to provide for their families. They were paid 10% of what adult males made and sometimes were not allowed time to eat. The factory owners abused the workers and did not take into account their health.
