Is the lever increase the force to move an object but it does not change the direction of the force?

There are 3 basic types of levers. 1st class, 2nd class and 3rd class. some change the direction of the force, some do not. some increase the force, some do not. A broom is an example of increasing speed, but not force. The direction of the effort (force you put in) and the resistance (force applied to the floor) is the same.
