Answer:

The United States saw a lot of growth during the industrial revolution. The revolution paved the way for it to become the industrial powerhouse of today. America saw urbanization rise to unseen levels and many new labor laws were introduced because of child labor and bad working conditions overall. Unions were on the rise and that led to better worker pay and conditions too. The automatization meant that unskilled labor was rising and apprenticeships were a lot less popular. New social classes came about especially the middle class.
