Untrained laborers recently emigrated to the industrializing city from the agrarian counties. From their farm experience, they view work as cyclical with time for rest and relaxation.
Since they do not understand that the modern economy requires them to labor twelve hours a day, seven days a week, untrained workers are inefficient, rebellious, and unproductive. Fortunately, the more recalcitrant can be conscripted into the army.
With their experience of modern industry, trained workers are disciplined and efficient. Entire families can be put to work, laboring nearly non-stop in the factories and mills, which is of course, of great benefit to the growing industrial power.
