    There were hundreds of jobs, from miners to engineers, from factory worker to factory owner.

    The worst jobs would probably be either a miner - there was very little concern over safety, or working as a child under the new looms - children were often scalped by the machines, and many died because the machines were not switched off as the children crawled under them to gather the fallen raw wool or cotton.
