The Industrial Revolution provided economic opportunities for " the movement of individuals or groups in social standing social position" (wiki definition for 'social mobility') that is, in short, it facilitated a means for them to move between social classes whether this be up or down (loss of agricultural jobs due to industrialisation for example would be going down in class to unemployment, where opportunites for promotion/improvement - due to the emergence of the working class - would have increased)

Historical Research on Social Mobility: Western Europe and the USA ... by Hartmut Kaelble has a good definition on page 15 and is free to view on Google books.
