HAND LABOUR AND STEAM POWER - SHORTCUT
In many industries the demand for labour was seasonal. Gas works and breweries needed more workers to meet their peak demand during the cold months. Bookbinders and printers too needed extra hands before December. At the waterfront, ships were repaired and spruced up. In all such industries where production fluctuated with the season, industrialists usually preferred hand labour. In Victorian Britain, the upper classes the aristocrats and the bourgeoisie preferred things produced by hand. Handmade products came to symbolise refinement and class. They were better finished, individually produced, and carefully designed. Machine-made goods were for export to the colonies.
LIFE OF WORKERS AT THE START OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION - SHORTCUT
The abundance of labour in the market affected the lives of workers. The actual possibility of getting a job depended on existing networks of friendship and kin relations. Seasonality of work in many industries meant prolonged periods without work. Some returned to the countryside after the winter, when the demand for labour in the rural areas opened up in places. The fear of unemployment made workers hostile to the introduction of new technology like the spinning jenny. Women who survived on hand spinning began attacking the new machines. After the 1840s, roads were widened, new railway stations came up, railway lines were extended, tunnels dug, drainage and sewers laid, rivers embanked which led to double employment of workers in the transport industry.
