What were the two basic types of industrial workers in the united states in the 1800s? why did one type of worker tend to earn higher wages

In the 1800s the United States had to two types of industrial workers, these were:

Craft workers were workers who had a specific set of skills and training while Common laborers were workers that lacked any kind of specialized training.

The main difference between these two was that Craft workers earned more and had more control over their working hours because of their skillset than the common laborer.  

because it took place after the war of 1812 had come to an end.
