1. During the Agricultural Revolution, advancements in farming led to surplus food, enabling people to move to urban areas for non - agricultural jobs. So, the percentage of the total population living in urban areas increased.
2. As more people moved to urban areas for industrial and other non - agricultural work, the percentage of the workforce employed in agriculture decreased because the total workforce grew and the number of agricultural jobs relative to the total workforce declined.
