Industry was in its infancy in the early 1800s and matured right along with Dickens. Hard Times deals with the factories in a small town and the unpleasant and dangerous conditions in which work was performed. Farm owners and laborers often rioted to protest the building of train tracks and the introduction of machines into their livelihoods; mobs were known to attack factory owners and workers, to set fire to factories, or to damage equipment on its way to the job site. Hundreds of small businesses and cottage industries collapsed; these people were often forced into the work house or to beggary. This, of course, had a widespread ripple effect on the economy. But the factories, as they'd known they would, prevailed at last.

Life in the new industry during Charles Dickens' time was characterized by poor working conditions, long hours, low wages, and crowded urban living spaces. Workers, including women and children, often faced exploitation and harsh treatment from factory owners. This period was marked by social inequality, poverty, and the struggle for workers' rights.
