how does industrialization impact society 
industrialization creates jobs that draw people from farms and villages to cities where manufacturing takes place however hard those jobs were they were often preferable to the precarious existence of a small farming family the result is a new generation of urban consumers businesses of all kinds spring up to provide goods and services to these consumers over time a larger middle class of artisans and shopkeepers emerges a large working class also emerges and conditions were often much harsher for them the evolution of labor unions is a direct result of the conditions faced by the powerless workers of the industrial revolution 14
