Throughout history there had been many changes in the way people lived according to their time period. An example of this is the changes between the Feudal Age and the Industrial Revolution. Each era had their social classes: the higher class of the kings and queens, middle class of the merchants and bourgeoisie, and lower class of homely peasants. As much as it seems, life in the Industrial Revolution was apparently very different from that of the Feudal Age in the areas of living and working, especially those of the lower class. However, there were some aspects of life that were similar in each time period as well.
How and where people had worked had its effects on the people of both time periods. For slaves, during the feudal times, the only available job was to work in the fields as field hands for their lord's land or house. Ordinary lower classmen took on jobs like carpentry, blacksmith, sewing, weaving, baking, and farming. However, whatever occupation they chose, it was still long, hard, and exhausting work. During the Industrial Revolution, agricultural occupations like these still existed. Although these jobs might have been made easier because of technological evolution, people still worked in fields and in homes. However, more and more people began to move from the fields to cities. More job opportunities arose as industry arose. Rather than working on the fields, they worked on assembly lines in congested factories. Lower classed people worked as textile workers, manufacturers, and clothing makers in factories. These jobs were shared among women and children as well as with men. During the Feudal Age, women mostly worked in the landlord's home as maids, sitters, or cooks. Children had worked in fields as well and had worked along side the women in the dark, dank iron and coalmines. Iron and coalmining still continued to the Industrial times. Women's occupations had risen as well.
