During the 18th and 19th centuries in Britain, the majority of the population worked in agriculture, particularly in rural areas, as farming was a primary occupation. The Industrial Revolution shifted many jobs to factories, where people worked in textiles, coal mining, and manufacturing. Additionally, there were roles in trade, services, and emerging professions like engineering and banking as urbanization increased. Domestic servants also made up a significant portion of the workforce, particularly in wealthy households.
