Industrial history examines people, energy, tools and working conditions, not just bigger totals. Output per worker-hour divides output by all workers' hours. These fictional workshop records cannot by themselves tell us pay, safety or product quality.

Worked example

Two schematic workers each work five hours in a fictional record, making ten worker-hours total. Forty items divided by ten worker-hours gives four items per worker-hour; pay and working conditions are not supplied.
