The table below describes the number of employees and factories in England and Wales from 1851 to 1901. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The table illustrates the

number

of

labours

and factories in England and Wales in the period during the period from 1851 to 1901. Looking at the chart from an

overall

perspective, the

number

of employees and factories showed a downward trend in the period given. Both male and female

labours

saw decreasing trends in 50

years

. The

number

of male

labours

stood at 287,100, which was the highest in both genders in 1851 after which became approximately a fifth in three decades. (80,123 in 1871)

This

gradually inclined to 65,000 in 1891 before dropping dramatically to 31,000 in 1901.

Similarly

, the figure for female employees, which accounted for 190,000 plunged to just 60,000 in 30

years

and

then

it reached the lowest of 30,000 in the two categories.

Due to

the decline in

labours

, the total fell to only 61,000 in 1901 from 477,100 in 1851.

Conversely

, there was a noticeable increase in factories in five decades. The

number

started at 225 in 1851 and

then

stabilized in the first 10

years

.

However

, it suddenly skyrocketed to 721 in the next two decades before dramatically decreasing by approximately 120 and reaching 600 in 1901, which meant the figure almost tripped over the

years

.
