How did the condition of secured labourers become insecure ?

(i) Earlier, it was common for labourers to live with landowners. They were
at the master’s table and helped their master through the year, doing a
variety of jobs.
(ii) By 1800, this practice began to disappear. Labourers were being paid
wages and employed only during harvest times.
(iii) As landowners tried to increase their profits, they cut the amount they
had to spend on other workmen. Workers became insecure, employment
uncertain and income unstable. For a very large part of the veal, the
poor had no work.
