Detailed Solution

The above statement is False. At the end of the nineteenth century, industrial sectors with advanced technological development employed less than 20% of the workforce. It is because even though textiles were a growing industry, a lot of the work was done in domestic units. The advancement of technology took place at a leisurely pace; it was not a quick process. Businesspeople in the manufacturing and retail sectors were reluctant to adopt newly developed technologies. The cost of implementing new technologies was high. Their effectiveness did not live up to the expectations set by the companies that manufactured and invented them. The cost of repairing the machines was high, and they frequently experienced breakdowns.
The correct statement would be that industrial sectors with advanced technological development employed less than 20% of the workforce at the end of the nineteenth century.
