Examples of Industrial labor in the following topics:
-
- Industrial labor is labor in industry, usually manufacturing, but it may also include service work, such as cleaning or cooking.
- But this type of production required a new type of labor, industrial labor.
- In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Industrial Revolution dramatically changed labor practices.
- Industrial labor is defined as labor in industry.
- Industrial labor includes factory workers, but it may also include service workers, such as cleaners and cooks.
-
- Industrial sociology examines the effects of industrial organization on workers, and the conflicts that can result.
- An example of a labor union is the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organization (AFL-CIO), whose constituent unions represent most American workers.
- An example of a craft union was the American Federation of Labor before it merged with the Congress of Industrial Organization.
- Industrial unionism is a labor union organizing method through which all workers in the same industry are organized into the same union—regardless of skill or trade—thus giving workers in one industry, or in all industries, more leverage in bargaining and in strike situations.

-
- During the Industrial Revolution (roughly 1750 to 1850) changes in technology had a profound effect on social and economic conditions.
- Examples of the technological innovation of the Industrial Revolution include the invention of steam and coal engines.
- The period of time covered by the Industrial Revolution varies with different historians.
- Starting in the later part of the 18th century, there began a transition in parts of Great Britain's previously manual labor and draft-animal-based economy toward machine-based manufacturing.
- Analyze the shift from manual to machine based labor during the First and Second Industrial Revolutions
-
- Industrialization has contributed to the growth of the older age population due to the technological advances that have come with it.
- The United Kingdom began an Industrial Revolution in the mid-eighteenth century due to the availability of land, labor, and investment capital.
- Most Western countries industrialized by the nineteenth century but the Industrial Revolution is still occurring around the world.
- Industrialized countries are defined by measures of economic growth and security.
- Industrialization brings money into an economy.
-
- Pre-industrial typically have predominantly agricultural economies and limited production, division of labor, and class variation.
- The economy was based on the exchange of labor for land instead of the exchange of wages for labor that is typical in industrial society.
- Pre-industrial societies are societies that existed before the Industrial Revolution, which took place in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
- Feudal lords were landowners; in exchange for access to land for living and farming, serfs offered lords their service or labor.
- Discuss the different types of societies and economies that existed during the pre-Industrial age
-
- Sociologists Weber, Marx and Durkheim envisioned different impacts the Industrial Revolution would have on both the individual and society.
- Karl Marx took a different perspective on the Industrial Revolution.
- In a capitalist society (which co-evolved with the Industrial Revolution), the proletariat, or working class, own only their labor power and not the fruits of their labor (i.e. the results of production).
- The capitalists, or bourgeoisie, employ the proletariat for a living wage, and, in turn, they keep the products of the labor.
- Compare the similarities and differences between Weber's Rationalization, Marx's Alienation and Durkheim's Solidarity In relation to the Industrial Revolution
-
- Three early sociologists, Weber, Marx, and Durkheim, perceived different impacts of the Industrial Revolution on the individual and society and described those impacts in their work.
- Karl Marx took a different perspective on the impact of the Industrial Revolution on society and the individual. [10] In order to understand Marx's perspective, however, it is necessary to understand how Marx perceived happiness.
- In a capitalist society (which was co-evolved with the Industrial Revolution), rather than owning the fruits of their labors, the proletariat or working class owns only their labor power, not the fruits of their labors (i.e., the results of production).
- The capitalists or bourgeoisie employ the proletariat for a living wage, but then keep the products of the labor.
- As a result, the proletariat is alienated from the fruits of its labor – they do not own the products they produce, only their labor power.
-
- Labor unions provide members with the power of collective bargaining over and fight for workers rights.
- Labor unions are legally recognized as representatives of workers in many industries in the United States.
- Other forms of unionism include minority unionism, solidarity unionism, and the practices of organizations such as the Industrial Workers of the World, which do not always follow traditional organizational models.
- In 2007, the Labor Department reported the first increase in union memberships in 25 years and the largest increase since 1979.

- With the introduction of mechanized textile production in New England during the Industrial Revolution, many women who previously earned wages by sewing or weaving in their homes took positions at textile mills, working outside of the home for the first time.

- These developments also shaped new patterns of urbanization, labor, and family life, all of which may be deemed a process of modernization.
- For example, people moved from the countryside into the city in search of new work opportunities, more people were employed as wage-laborers doing repetitive tasks in a factory, and nuclear families became disconnected from the more extended kinship networks found in rural areas as people moved into cities.
- These processes may be considered the phase of technological innovation following the Industrial Revolution, which some have labeled the Information Revolution.
-
- Like pastoral societies, the cultivation of crops increases population densities and, as a result of food surpluses, allows for an even more complex division of labor.
- Horticulture relies solely on human labor for crop cultivation.
- These include improved methods of food stores, labor specialization, advanced technology, hierarchical social structures, inequality, and standing armies.
- Like agrarian societies, industrial societies lead to even greater food surpluses, resulting in even more developed social hierarchies and an even more complex division of labor.
- The industrial division of labor, one of the most notable characteristics of this societal type, in many cases leads to a restructuring of social relations.
