What increase in both factories and machine-made goods led to an increase in which type of worker?

The increase in factories and machine-made goods during the Industrial Revolution led to a rise in demand for factory workers, particularly unskilled laborers. As production shifted to mechanized processes, more individuals were needed to operate machinery, manage assembly lines, and perform repetitive tasks. This transition also contributed to the growth of a wage-dependent working class, as many rural workers moved to urban areas in search of employment opportunities in factories.
