Answer:

Some colonists wanted to earn more money to become middle class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Craftsmanship was the first form of industrial production that was recorded during the middle colonies between the commercial and urban renaissance and was defined by independent production; the producer had the means of production: facilities, tools and raw material. At home, alone or with family, the craftsman performed all stages of production.

The craftsman's office was very lucrative and in demand, so for that reason, so in order to earn enough money to enter the middle class, many settlers became craftsmen in the middle colonies.
