In the 12th century, labor shortages were caused by many different plagues. This forced land holders to bring in outsiders and offer them compensation for working, otherwise their estates would have crumbled.
too many factories were looking for too few workers
Unions were legally tolerated, and they campaigned for 10 or 12 hour workdays and raises. Real wages (real means the numbers are adjusted to account for inflation) began climbing in the 1830s.
A sustained increase in the cost of goods and services is called inflation. If wages do not rise at the same rate, people begin to struggle to meet basic needs.
Between 1500 and 1700, real wages in England generally declined. The period saw significant population growth and increasing demand for goods, which placed upward pressure on prices and led to inflation. While nominal wages may have risen, they did not keep pace with rising living costs, resulting in a decrease in real wages for many workers. Economic changes, including shifts in agriculture and the rise of the textile industry, also impacted wage levels during this time.
Inflation can impact the increase in wages by reducing the purchasing power of the money earned. When prices rise due to inflation, wages may need to increase to keep up with the higher cost of living. However, if wages do not increase at the same rate as inflation, workers may find that their real wages, or the amount of goods and services they can buy with their income, decrease.
When real wages increase then the demand for labor slows. Employers must maintain their budgets, so they will not employ more people than their budgets can stand.
