True or False, with more machinery in the agricultural revolution, labor decreased for the Industrial Revolution

Question

anonymous · Answer

More machinery means less manual labor, but labor in general, I'm not sure.

anonymous · Answer

I think its false because they would need to hire people to work the machinery.

anonymous · Answer

It's talking about a decrease in labor, not putting an end to labor. They need people to operate the machinery, but, say, one machine replaces 10 people, so now you only need one person for every ten that you used to have to hire prior to implementing machinery.
