Answer:

More jobs

Middle-class was created, Britain became wealthier

Helped shape current working conditions

Advances in certain industries (Technology, shipping, science, agriculture, construction

Increased foreign trade

Step-by-step explanation:

Companies needed more employees to produce more products; as they were heavily needed during this time.

Middle and lowerclass citizens of all ages worked in factories

During this time children were working in factories in dangerous conditions, no benefits, no min wage or working hours.

Technology, shipping, science, agriculture, construction increased/grew

The increase in workers made an increase in products: enough to increase foreign trade
