The spinning Jenny brought factory work to society. Before factories when something was made it was made individually for a specific person, but the invention of factories meant that things could be made on a larger scale. Work hours, shift work, weekends were all created because of factories. The factories wanted to have people work 12-14 hours a day 7 days a week so they needed to have people work in shifts. Out of that came the ideas about having two days off a week, holidays off, and eventually overtime pay. The shift in society became production oriented and led to factory towns, unions, urbanization of America, and worker protection laws. The modern society we have today was built on the foundation of factory work and one reason there are problems today is there is a shift from people working in factories to people working in technology or service industries, but some people are still thinking in the old factory ways.
