Over the years 1851-1881 Britain’s coal mining industry has drastically changed in the number of employed children. I see that the number of female employees under the age fifteen decrease about five hundred people every fifteen years. I also see the the number of male employees age 15-20 increased 15,000 people every fifteen years. This could mean that the coal mining industry thought that the males were more useful to them so they hired more of them as the year passed, and the females under fifteen couldn't really work in the mines so they unemployed of some of them as the years went one. The last observation I made was that in 1881 the coal mining industry had 123,900 emplyees more than any of the previous years. This could mean that the industry had expanded significantly allowing the industry to employ more and more people.
