Best Answer

There were blacksmiths, grinders, millers, stone carvers, tinsmiths, landlords, laborers (Like slaves) and, silk spinners.

There was a shortage of skilled heavy equipment operators for the guillotine.

Most jobs were as poor farmers. The 97% of the people were in the third estate, which before the revolution meant they were poor. But they had no say and were all struggling. The people farmed the land, gave a big percent of the crop to the lords/nobles, who gave a share to the king and the nobles and the king sat fat and happy all the time. Farmers were pretty much at risk of starving. That was actually a key point in the revolution. Some of those people came into power and became the middle class, but were still in the third estate because the weren't born into the 1st or 2nd estate.

Who were the urban workers in the french revolution?

Urban Workers are part of the third estate that include Bourgeoisie and peasants. They make up about 97%-98% of the french population. Urban workers usually work in the kitchen and barely have jobs. They were heavily taxed like the other two groups and barely had money to by food. Hence they rebelled against Marie and Louis.

Why were the peasants and the Urban workers dissatisfied with the course of events by the late 1791- early 1792 during the french revolution?

The peasants were unhappy because they lacked food to eat, and to survive. Also King Louis IVV forced them to pay taxes. The King did nothing to stop the local aristocrat's animals wandering all over their land eating the crops. They worked at farms for nothing, the amount of money they get paid was little or nothing while the aristocrats had plenty. It sort of can be compared to the way things are going now with gas prices, sooner or later the "peasants" will get tired of being gouged by the oil companies and bring them down. And... not to mention... the peasants were at the bottom of the social class. they didnt have many rights, so they couldn't get different or better jobs.
