What reading level is Britain At Work a Pictorial Description of Our National Industries book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The conditions of work are not unhealthy, but the hours are so long that physical endurance is taxed to the utmost, and pay is so small that every member of nearlv every family, capable of work, is obliged to add his or her mite to the slender income of the household.
The portion of the Black Country in which these three industries have become almost historic occupations lies within South Staffordshire and Worcestershire, and includes Stourbridge, Dudley, Cradley, Lye, Halesowcn, and Broms- gro...ve. Mechanical contrivances have been introduced in our great cities for the manufacture of nails, notably at Leeds, where many dexterous machines are used, cutting, heading, and pointing the nails at one stroke ; but on the hill slopes of Bel per, in Derbyshire, and in the Black Country the methods are still chiefly manual.
In Bromsgrove by no means a grimy- looking town, for it is rather quaint and clean than squalid and dirty there are 25 more women nailmakers than men workers. They are put into the industry because there is little other work in the district for them to do, and having passed their probation as beginners, by making rough nails that are scarcely marketable except in exchange for the cheapest boots and shoes, they are permitted to work on nails for the middleman or " fogger.
