Did working hours in England increase as a result of the Industrial Revolution? In this important study, Hans-Joachim Voth addresses this question using rigorously analyzed statistical data. Drawing on this research, Voth has created six datasets for both rural and urban areas over the period 1750 to 1830 to reconstruct patterns of leisure and labor.
