question 3 of 10
how did the industrial revolution change working conditions for people?
a. workers began to earn more money
b. there was very little need for skilled labor.
c. machines made it necessary to hire more workers.
d. owners were able to train more workers.

Explanation:

During the Industrial Revolution, new machinery like textile looms simplified many tasks, meaning unskilled workers could perform jobs that previously required trained, skilled labor. Option A is incorrect because early industrial workers earned very low wages. Option C is wrong as machines often replaced workers, reducing the need for large labor forces in some roles. Option D is incorrect because owners did not prioritize training, as unskilled labor was cheaper and sufficient for machine-based work.

Answer:

B. There was very little need for skilled labor.
