The Assembly Line and Changing Labor in America
The piece traces early conveyor production in Cincinnati slaughterhouses around 1850 and Henry Ford’s refinement of moving work to workers. It contrasts factory toil with white collar work in the mid 1970s, noting distance from raw materials and growth of service roles. Professor Heilbroner will examine these shifts next Sunday.
