In the late 1800s, the rise of factories and machine-made goods led to an increase in industrial workers, particularly in urban areas. This shift created a demand for laborers who could operate machinery and manage production processes. Many of these workers included immigrants and rural migrants seeking jobs in cities, contributing to the growth of a more diverse and concentrated workforce. Additionally, this period marked the beginning of labor movements as workers sought better conditions and rights in response to the challenging work environment.
