Solution

The statement "Skilled artisans were in great demand in factories" is not true of factory workers. During the Industrial Revolution, factories were more interested in unskilled labor that could be easily and cheaply replaced. Skilled artisans were often seen as unnecessary and expensive. The factory system relied on the use of machinery and standardized parts, reducing the need for skilled labor.
