Overall, the majority of Americans consumed fast food between once a week and once or twice a month during this period.

A small minority either never ate fast food or consumed it daily. By 2006, there was a slight increase in the percentage of people eating fast food once a week, as well as a growth in the number of those who ate fast food several times a week, rising from around 16% to 20%. The percentage of people eating fast food once or twice a month also increased. Meanwhile, only about 3% of Americans were daily fast food consumers during this period. Finally, in 2013, around 33% of people ate fast food once or twice a month, while a small portion of the population continued to consume fast food every day or never.

The table illustrates the number of employees and manufacturers in both England and Wales from 1851 to 1901. Overall, the number of employees steadily declined, while the number of factories remained relatively stable over the fifty-year period. Looking more closely at the data, in 1851, there were 477,100 employees working in 225 factories, with the majority of workers being male. By 1861, the number of factories had slightly increased to 227, while the number of employees had noticeably decreased, with females making up the majority of the workforce—160,000 female workers compared to 131,780 male workers. In 1871, the number of factories surged dramatically, nearly tripling, though the decline in employee numbers continued. At this point, men became the predominant group among workers. This trend persisted until 1891, when the number of factories decreased from 721 in 1881 to 625. By 1901, with fewer workers overall and a higher proportion of men, the number of factories had dropped to 600, with the total number of employees falling to a low of 61,000. By means a turning point in history: by that time something changed.
