 * LIFE IN THE FACTORIES AND MINE **

Working in factories workers faced a rigid schedule, set by a factory whistle.
 * Most shifts were 12-16 hours 6-7 days a week
 * Breaks were only allowed when the factory owner allowed them breaks
 * Workers were exhausted from the long hours which resulted in injuries such as; lose of a finger, limb, or even their lives
 * Workers who became sick with disease or injury usually would lose their job and be replaced by another worker
 * Most factory workers were women because they were easer to manage and would adapt more quickly than men
 * Women were also paid half the amount that men were paid in the factory

**MINERS**
 * Industrial Revolution led to the increase in coal and iron
 * Miners were paid more because the conditions in the mines were worse than the conditions in the factories
 * Working area was dark and all the dust in the minds destroyed workers' lungs
 * Women and children would cart heavy loads of coal on all fours through passages in the mines[[image:http://thecomplexchrist.typepad.com/the_complex_christ/industrial4b.jpg width="500" height="215" caption="jobs in the mine"]]

**CHILDREN'S JOBS**
 * Children began working at the age of 7 and 8 and as young as 5
 * Because of their fast moving fingers children changed spools in the textile mills
 * Children also crawled under machines to fix any damages they were able to
 * Some children worked all day in the dark at the mines hauling loads of coal in the heat
 * **FACTORY ACTS-** laws passed in the 1800's that reduced child labor; these laws reduced children's work days to 12 hours and no children under the age of 8 were allowed to work in the cotton mills.
 * These factory acts were generally not enforced which led British lawmaker teams up to inspect the factories to make sure these rules were being enforced.
