In early-nineteenth-century industrial societies, why did migration to urban areas increase so rapidly?

With an influx of jobs, people raced to the cities. With the technology in farming increasing, food could now be made by 10 people, not 100. This allowed many people to leave their farms and move to the vast and populated cities.

Hope this Helps! :)
