With the continuous development of technology, the emergence of equipment has had a significant impact on the lives of today's workers. This article investigates the impact of the emergence of steam engines on the living conditions of workers at that time. Through research, it can be concluded that the invention of the early steam engine did not have a significant impact on workers during the Industrial Revolution. We hope to understand the impact of current equipment on workers and avoid some adverse effects during the Industrial Revolution. The impact of the Industrial Revolution on people is multifaceted. During the Industrial Revolution, due to the migration of rural populations to cities in search of industrial job opportunities, the population grew rapidly, accelerating the process of urbanization and industrialization. So unemployment was a serious phenomenon in the early and middle stages of the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution significantly promoted the growth of productivity, but at the same time, it also changed the structure of the labor market, leading to an increase in unemployment rate. The issue of worker wages is also widespread. Although the Industrial Revolution significantly improved overall productivity and the level of the national economy, the wage levels of manufacturing workers were usually low, causing dissatisfaction among workers.
