Shifting Work Patterns

Paper Summary:

An examination of how society was impacted by the reorganization of work patterns in the ancient societies of Greece, Rome, and London. The paper explains how some professions gained in popularity, while others saw their earnings decrease. The banking industry was in its early beginnings during this period, and the term "interest" originated then. It is still used in accounting practices today.

From the Paper:

"There began to be a shifting of work patterns in a number of professions. This was noted in some of the more important and higher paid jobs such as architects who built structures, towns and buildings, and were highly in demand and paid high wages for their services; and armorers who were usually blacksmiths as well, but as war became a more frequent event many blacksmiths could afford to relinquish their skills of crafting metalworks and strictly pursue the field of marking armor. Most Armorers were members of the Middle Class and were often very wealthy."
