How many hours per week did the average person work in 1843?

In 1843, the average person worked around 60 to 70 hours per week, often in difficult and unsafe conditions, particularly in factories and mines during the Industrial Revolution. Workdays typically lasted 10 to 12 hours, six days a week, with minimal breaks. Labor movements were beginning to advocate for shorter hours, but it wasn't until later in the century that significant changes began to take place.
