Most people lived on farms or in small towns that communally operated surrounding farms. They just barely grew enough food on these farms to avoid starvation. They never traveled more than 50 to 100 miles from their home in their entire life.

For most industrialization offered an improvement in their lives and a reduction in work hours, even though most factories required a 16 hour workday.
