What happened to the wages of craftspeople and factory workers by the 1843?

By 1843, wages for craftspeople and factory workers had generally stagnated or declined due to various factors, including an oversupply of labor and the effects of industrialization. The rise of factories often led to lower pay and harsher working conditions, as employers sought to maximize profits. Additionally, economic fluctuations and competition contributed to wage suppression, leaving many workers struggling to maintain their livelihoods. This period marked growing discontent among the working class, eventually leading to movements advocating for labor rights and better wages.
