What Were Some Unpleasant Jobs During The Industrial Revolution In Europe?
During the industrial revolution, there were many unpleasant and break breaking jobs, many of which are now performed by machinery. One of these was, mining the coal mines in England, which were pits of misery, and the men with stooped backs and choked lungs who worked there,often died early. In fact young children were taken on to work in the mines, since it was decided, that they could fit betteri nto the small underground tunnels, would complain less, eat less and have more energy, and of course could be paid less too. Legislation stopped this eventually. Dock workers loading ships also had a torrid time, as did the workers who were required to cart sewage in pails before it was all mechanised.
