Families worked together as a family unit in factories only at the very beginning of the industrial revolution. This is many because before factories there was the cottage system where families worked close together, and so factories wanted to employ the same system. After the child labor laws were put into play then the factories would stop hiring children, and women at this time had a hard time finding work because of the sexual division of labor that was seen during the industrial revolution.

After the War of 1812, there were many new factories built in the North. New York, Delaware, and New Jersey were some of the first states that had a high concentration of factories in the early part of the Industrial Revolution.
It gave individuals more profit to invest in the new industries, and forced previously farming families to move into the cities and work in the factories. In the factories and mines, workers were paid low wages, and that formed the Middle Class.
