(i) England: The actual possibility of getting a job depended on existing network of {riendship and kin relationship. A person was more likely to get a job if he had a friend or a relative working in the factory. Many who did not have connections had to wait for weeks spending nights under bridges or in the night shelters.
(ii) India: In India, the number of job seekers was always more than the jobs available. Industrialists usually employed jobbers, who usually were old and trusted workers to get new recruits.
The jobber got people from his village, ensured them a job and helped them settle in the city. jobbers eventually began demanding money for the favors they showed and controlled the Lives of workers.
