During the industrial Revolution adults and children worked in hazardous workplaces in order to make a living. It was typical for people to work for about more than 16 hours a day minimum pay. Pay was extremely low that families even needed their own children to help out. Also, these workers had little to no rights when working in these industrial jobs. Even when children and adults have gotten injured on the job they still were treated with less respect and suffered on the job until they could not work anymore.

One of the main features of the Industrial Revolution was the horrendous working conditions that people faced. At the time, industrial cities and towns grew dramatically due to the migration of farmers and their families who were looking for work in the newly developed factories and mines. These factories and mines were dangerous and unforgiving places to work in. The working conditions that working-class people faced were known to include: long hours of work (12-16 hour shifts), low wages that barely covered the cost of living, dangerous and dirty conditions and workplaces with little or no worker rights. To better understand the situation, its first important to understand the political ideology of the time, which historians refer to as classical liberalism. Classical liberalism is an ideology characterized by laissez-faire capitalism, which means that the government played as little a role in the economy as possible. As a result, there were little to no rules in place for workers in the Industrial Revolution, and the wealthy owners could act in any manner that they wanted. For example, the factories and mines were incredibly dangerous places with very few safeguards.

The final aspect of the working conditions that people faced in the Industrial Revolution was the lack of rights. As previously stated, the political ideology of the time was classical liberalism. This was a highly individualistic ideology that was based on little or no government involvement. As a result, this meant that the government did little to protect workers from being exploited by the wealthy entrepreneurs of the time. For example, child labor was a common feature of life in the Industrial Revolution. Since there were no child labor laws at the start of the Industrial Revolution, factory and mine owners were free to hire children and employ them in incredibly dangerous situations. Furthermore, in modern society, governments are often responsible for establishing minimum wage laws in order to protect workers from being underpaid. However, during the Industrial Revolution, no such laws existed and as a result, industrial workers barely made enough to cover their cost of living. Another example of how workers lacked rights was in regards to how they were treated if they were injured while at work. As discussed in the previous paragraph, the workplaces of the Industrial Revolution were incredibly dangerous and workers often suffered from horrible injuries that made it impossible for them to keep working. Because the government practised laissez-faire capitalism, this meant that they did not have initiatives in place to force factories to protect workers or to compensate them when they became injured and could no longer work. For example, a report from the British House of Commons in 1832 commented that "workers are often abandoned from the moment that an accident occurs; their wages are stopped, no medical attendance is provided, and whatever the extent of the injury, no compensation is afforded." Therefore, workers lacked basic rights in regards to protecting themselves from harm and in regards to receiving assistance after they were injured.

In conclusion, the lives of industrial workers in the Industrial Revolution was difficult. They were expected to endure long hours of work for very little pay and were often placed in incredibly dirty and dangerous situations. As well, they lacked the basic rights necessary to fight for better conditions.

The Robber barons took advantage of people and some resulted in people having to either tax money to them or pay for something in order to pass through. The Captains of Industry though were the ones who benefitted people instead. They stole from people constantly and only wanted money. They also controlled goods and services. The COI though, had creative people like Jeff Baos who created amazon helping instead of hurting people.
